Rotator cuff pain

This happened earlier tonight. I'm liking these quick writes lately

Pins and needles right rotator
Okay that's enough
One arm upright deltoid cable
20 reps is tough

Shoulder presses two and a quarter
Hammer strength bench
Super set with lateral flies
Feel my shoulder clench

Face is wincing with joint pain
when Lexus rolls on up
"Shoulder pain again baby?"
She always knows what's up

All I can do is sigh and nod
wait for it to pass
She goes and does her cardio
I work on my calves

Pain is just a fact of life
Learn to live with it
Avoidance is impossible
It's still the same old s**t

Author's Note

Okay so it isn't a Baby Ricochet masterpiece. (if they're are any) I do have trouble with my right, rear rotator cuff on rear deltoid exercises and tonight was one of those times.
Rotator cuff injuries are a huge pain in the ass to work around.

Gym! I have been reading so many works of yours these days, which are related to gym in one way or the other :P

[Baby Ricochet]

Yeah. It's my thing. Thank you Shivam

Pain is pain...small or big...all pain reminds us of our mortality. You shared a "moment"...one that is often ignored or pacified with some Tylenol. Pain reminds us to feel mercy. Without it..I fear there would be many walking around heartless numb and indifferent to the suffering of others.

Good insight

In my twenties...when in management...I was cold and insensitive to employee's that had sick kids...or had called in because they had doctor appts, or they were in pain...

Well...lets just say I now have kids of my own...and some days a lot of pain and pride that needs to be swallowed...and having to miss a lot of work myself due to "stuff beyond my controll" my past intolerance...no-longer applies. I'm nolonger indifferent to pain...I have the opposite problem now...I try to burden and feel what others are feeling...that too can weigh a person down quickly. Pain in my life has proven to be metaphysical...reminding us all to be patient.

Ah, those are bad man. My uncle had a rotator cuff on the left, but he kept using it anyway and he ended up in the hospital a month and a half for it. Gotta be careful with such things. Good poem.

[Baby Ricochet]

Yes you do. Thank you Ryan.

[Ryan]

Anytime :)

My left shoulder has been hurting for years. A nine year old diagnosed it as rotator cuff. Maybe I should have it looked at. haha. anyway...

I actually really liked this one. S**t hurts. Oh well. I don't have a joint that works properly anymore, but that's just the price you pay for the life you lead and I wouldn't trade it for being a stationary human being.

nice job

[Baby Ricochet]

Thank you Ees

You're falling apart at the seams ;-) But what's the alternative, eh? Stop lifting those heavy sons of b*****s and let it all turn to flab? Yikes!

p.s. Gym Rat, I took your advice and my Nic is now enrolled in a gym with better equipment and nicer scenery ;-) and the Boflex is something he just hasn't gotten around to putting on ebay yet xD Thanks again, Mark, you're a gem!

[Baby Ricochet]

Cool. The gym I go to is heavy on the young Latino males. You should see some of these guys. Even I appreciate how gorgeous some of them are and I'm straight. A man like Nic would be in Spanish Beef Cake heaven.

[KAOlmsted]

I'll have to do some research, see how much Spanish Beef Cake there is up in Seattle ;-) I take your point, though, I am seriously wondering how I missed that...of course he'd go to a gym! d'oh >.<

Thanks again, Baby.

[Baby Ricochet]

"Pain is just a fact of life

[Baby Ricochet]

Thanks Bro

ouch. Not every poem is meant to wring the stuffing out of a peep. Its like food. Sometimes we sit down to steak and asparagus and cheese cake and sometimes is a box of kraft mac and cheese. Some of us - we like both. There's a time for a steak dinner - and a time for some mac and cheese. I like to see variety in a poet. And I agree that last verse is applicable to daily life. Liked this poem much!

[Baby Ricochet]

Thank you TL

[Ohhhwillow]

You relate an every day issue to the world at large in you closing stanza and I like that. You ability to break down human nature into fragmented, honest scenarios is what makes your writing different! I see you're working with a different metre, it felt off in places however love that you are experimenting with varied rhythms, grasping an alternative atmosphere! Hope your pains go away man, keep on writing! Good work!

Thank you Willow
