Notes About The Poem

To defeat an overwhelming power reject their demands, thrust and bluster, and use asymmetric power – a form of Jiujitsu – to turn the overreach of superior power against them.

tricky

asymmetric resistance

facing mighty force
asymmetric resistance
yields.slips, bends, deflects,
so thrust finds no grip or hold
felled by its own over reach
