Swim and Forget

The stench prepares me for the intense rush I get When I dive in I go numb Numb in a sense that I don’t remember anything else Anything else from the horrible day All I do is swim. Swim and forget.

This is quite a relatable poem, Bridget. I too am a swimmer, and I feel this on a deep level. -Paul
