Screw the roses, send me the thorns

I love to stretch; I love the way the body morphs and elongates – shoulders dropping, breasts raising and the curve of the waist stretching. I look good stretched out! Just keep me on the rack and I’ll be happy – not to mention my muscles will be happy at finally loosening up. There is the flip side of stretching when overly tight muscles spasm and don’t let go. It starts out with a tense resistance and then like the quick snap of a rubber band to the eye your body curls around the offending appendage, desperate to make it feel better.
