trying to do yoga while body stoned

Took CBD oil before my yoga class
and now my body feels too good
for these borderline torture positions
I'm trying to pull myself into
but I'm here
and I can't just lie on the mat
for the next hour

Well, I could, but I would fall asleep
and that would defeat the purpose
of braving the morning rush
to be here
in semi-flexible agony
that makes my body feel
almost normal

Yoga does for my body
what dosing myself with
prescription level
anti-inflammatories doesn't
it alleviates the daily pain
from the list of -itis's
I've collecting for a while now

The only upside of my dopey limbs
is that I can laugh at myself
every time I lose balance
and hit the floor
unlike all the other times
I tried not to cry
because my body
just wouldn't do
what I asked of it
