hanging from a bar in the park

The shoulder tweak and waning grip
place your feet on chipped wood.

Opening your eyes, your son's
playing tag in the field.
This is delightful.  Thrown off a little by "tweak," know the feeling and it works by sight and sound, but then the dictionary kicks in and I'm momentarily confused.  It's a pinch, an incipient charley-horse,  probably rotator-cuff... can't think of a better word.  "Strain," but that lacks impact.  Good job.
