the DMZ afternoon: the pro whose service-motion is eroding him

Glimpsed at the fence: a touring "Syrian Satellite-pro" is paying E.T.A. "for two paid weeks of corrective instruction on a service-motion that's eroding his rotator cuff." The Show as career machinery shown at its far end — a grown professional whose own stroke is grinding his shoulder apart, come back to the academy to have the mechanics that made him a pro un-taught before they cripple him. The body that reaches the Show keeps paying: the very motion the regimen builds is also the one slowly wearing the joint away, and correction is a lifelong maintenance contract.
