This one is dedicated and inspired by my friend Roy Levosh. You put the idea in my head about being in the chair, under the gun, getting a tattoo. But in writing this, I realised it is also a great little analogy for what we do in the name of getting and staying fit. Hope you enjoy it. 
Today it hurt,
As it will tomorrow.
Pain is our bodies way
Of saying,
“Enough is enough!
Time to take it easy.”
But sometimes pain
Can be wonderful...
Cathartic.
Sexual...
Artistic,
Necessary.
In which case
The body says,
“Give me more!
I like this.”
So I will heal,
And do it all again
Because I listen
To what my body says.
