[Takayasu the ozeki lounger]
Takayasu’s still
one of my favorites - so
cool-eyed, collected
day six sees his opponent
as Brazilian Kaisei
obviously, not
much sumo tradition in
tropical Brazil
Kaisei's held rank for some time,
but been struggling this basho
Takayasu wastes
no time in wasting Kaisei,
remains unbeaten
Kaisei almost scores hip toss,
yet Takayasu denies
wobble without flip,
he digs in and finishes
Kaisei for six wins
one point, I thought he was
destined for yokozuna
he’s second-longest
ozeki, but sat out past May
basho entirely
perhaps could’ve gotten wins
then for the big promotion
last basho, faired well,
but wasn’t dominant like
ozeki should be
thus far this aki basho,
unblemished record, calm-faced
he never shows much
emotion, possessing eyes
like a true lounger
two yokozuna, plus one
other also unbeaten
for ozeki to
take that last step, he’s gotta
choke out those above
Hakuho and Kakuryu,
however, still look too strong
oh Takayasu -
were you to gain promotion,
would demeanor break?
would yokozuna status
cause aloof look to liven?
