been makuuchi
(or top level) sumo for
just over a year
(or top level) sumo for
just over a year
this is his seventh basho
at makuuchi level
at makuuchi level
he's only had a
winning record twice in those
previous six times
winning record twice in those
previous six times
but he's begun this basho
with a pretty strong showing
with a pretty strong showing
Tokoshoryu seems
to have this one won with an
initial advance
to have this one won with an

Kotonowaka is backed
to roped edge of dohyo's ring
to roped edge of dohyo's ring
ahh yes... casual
ballet-like tiptoes by these
sumo behemoths
ballet-like tiptoes by these
sumo behemoths
Kotonowaka side steps
and Tokoshoryu tumbles
and Tokoshoryu tumbles
a bout seemingly
lost from jump, with victory
salvaged at the end
lost from jump, with victory
salvaged at the end
finding balance in moments
where none would be encouraged
where none would be encouraged
sometimes that seems to
me the biggest lesson of
sumo indulgence
me the biggest lesson of
sumo indulgence
in this heavy assed world which
crushes spirit, find balance
crushes spirit, find balance
the earth is not flat,
but that edge to fall over
shows itself daily
but that edge to fall over
shows itself daily
trying to find balance, as
unseen shit pushes on you
unseen shit pushes on you
