I Am Who I Make Myself

The writer or drawer or artists’ or craftworks’ popped shoulder

Scapular winging

From hard lean on one elbow

Because

Why lean hard?

Fighting against dichotomy

And shattering themselves

Trying

To find

The write

Words.

Inhale

Deeply

More deeply

And hold it

Shift your back

To more straight

Then your ribs

Then your shoulders

Then your neck

Very

Slowly

And

Try

Leaning on your other

Elbow

For just a moment

Now

Let the breath out.

And breath in again

And change which leg

You are leaning on

To the other one

By rotating your ankles

And knees

And hips

And lower spine.

It will

Probably

Hurt.

Sorry.

And if both are popped out?

No more

Curling up

Around yourself

Please

Find a sturdy wall

Literally

And do upright

Pushups

Gently.
