SALUTE
It was during a yoga class after hours
at the middle school with some fellow aging less-than-flexible neighbors that I said to myself, I love
the way our dog pees when there’s no bush handy or no trees or he just doesn’t feel like it, who knows?
He stretches his front feet forward, balances his butt on one rear leg then reaches the other straight back,
as if he were doing his pre-run warmups or assuming the yoga position
known as the fourth or “lunge” pose
of the Sun Salute. I thought, I could do that.
