What Is This New Sensation?


 Convince myself the trip is worthwhile.

Slip on the stretchy swimsuit.

Grab the towel.

Throw the favorite float in the back of the car.

Drive the mile and a half to the swimming pool.

Park belongings on a lounge chair.

Hold the float.

Step in the water.

One foot.

Two feet.

Both feet on the pool floor.

Float at my waist.

Take feet off the floor.

Float.

Pure bliss.

Pure unadulterated blissful sensation of nothingness. 

What is this new sensation of nothing? No pain? It can't be that. It feels like my legs are no longer attached because they don't hurt.

What is this new sensation?

Is it something or nothing?

I wonder if the novelty will wear off? 

Does the process of chronification reverse?

Can someone feel chronically good? 

What is this new sensation?

It is pain free.

It is painless

It is less pain.
