Before Bedtime

I bend my stomach in half artfully
and clench my muscles just so.
I can be a whole other person
by tilting my chin to the side
and forcing myself to hurt.

Author notes

I revisited this--people think its about excercising before bed, and it isnt. I can see how y'all would get that. I think it's called Before Bedtime because it was written before bed.

But its actually about acting. I was playing a prostitute.

Please tell me what you think

    I knew of an exercise buff who did such things for about ten to 15 minutes with an area in her bedroom for gentle wind downs that emphasized maintenance, so it really made sense to me... to think it from my logic and then example. But seeing your categories, I got a wtong passion!

    This seems like it would be such a simple, descriptive moment as it occurs - yet I'm sitting here going "wow. this is one of the best short pieces I've read in a while".

    Great stuff! I shall come back and read more.
