Is there a graceful way to sidestep the story?

What started months ago as a slight nagging
catch when I fully raised that arm now
pops like a knuckle when I
spread my wings and try to
open my chest, a Tootsie Pop ball
jammed into a sesame encrusted
California Roll socket. 

It must happen to others, right?
There will doubtless be dutiful
follow-up questions. Yes. It was all
consensual. Just a weird angle. We were
problematic in every way but this. I just
gave my joints too much credit, thinking I could
turn the elastic tricks of my youth.

                 “48 yo divorced female
                  presents with complaint of
                  pain and stiffness in L shoulder
                 due to ‘advanced yoga stretch’
                 Anxious demeanor and
                 patient’s BMI belie
                 claim of athletic endeavor as cause.
                 Refer to ortho. Consult with psych?”

Scar tissue does not argue, just
volunteers, laying itself down, clinging to
vulnerable connective ligaments, our
thinnest layers, before we know we need
protecting, creates passive resistance to
protest reopening our chest to
future injury too soon.
