I tried to do handstands for you
Everytime I fell yeah everytime I fell
I tried to do handstands for you
But everytime I fell for you
I'm permanently black and blue, permanently blue for you
I tried to do handstands for you
Everytime I fell on you yeah everytime I fell
I tried to do handstands but everytime I fell for you
I'm permanently black and blue, permanently blue for You-ooo For you-ooo
I grabbed some frozen strawberries so I could ice your bruisy knees
But frozen things they all unfreeze and now I taste like
All those frozen strawberries I used to chill your bruisy knees,
Hot July ain't good to me
I'm pink and black and blue
I got bruises on my knees for you
And grass stains on my knees for you
Got holes in my new jeans for you
Got pink and black and blue
Was listening to this catchy Chairlift song, "Bruises", while driving and remorsefully remembered the handstand I keep omitting from the Primary Series. Actually, it's half a handstand which comes after the chair pose, Utkatasana, and before Warriors I-II which cap the standing poses. My teachers introduced it to me months ago, including preparatory drills for it, but somehow I'm not taking to it. Can't get the right lift, feel like I'm not hovering long enough before dropping to Chaturanga, and basically feel awkward and clumsy doing it. And instead of feeling dejected by it, I've opted NOT to do it at all which shouldn't be the case I know. Will come back to it soon. Right now, I'm just content listening to this silly pop song. Om.
