This is a test in concentration. In the same manner water takes the form of its current vessel, the body houses a slew of energy forms, the soul, the warrior’s spirit, electric, charged like a double-ay – AA, fitted in, snap, the back of an indigo GameBoy Advance, as the tray clasps over. Swaying the knees, bouncing on the ball of the foot, tapping the toes, digging the heels, stretching the leg, tapping the fingers, splaying the hands, cracking the knuckles are some of the various diversions the body can take when subject to the task of patience. Unbridled, like a young stallion, not gnawing at the bit out of frustration, but a gentle trot in place, the advent of a race about to start. thoughts that quelled boredom today
