Today I tested for
the first kyu
in karate

I sweat like a pig
I didn't bring water
I felt not really good
I felt sad

But I did pass
my basics weren't
to 1st kyu level
but my kata
and my kumite
were very good

I landed a direct
hit to my teacher
We're at that point
where I've learn
most that he have
to teach me

I might be leaving
the east shore
I might be leaving
the lake

That might
have been
the last time
I work with
this school

I will stay
until the
end of the play
But after that
I don't know

I will have become
a theatre director
a 1st kyu Karate student
a father
a yoga teacher
while living
on the east shore
of kootenay lake
