I have a new pain lately. The past few days. It has something to do with the cartilage between my ribs. Nothing to do with the other pain except in their blending. It extends the region of distraction. My mind is ineloquent, never verbose. The one thought is "pain." The word and the feeling. "It hurts," and it does hurt. A pairing of experience and the existence of a decent describing turn of phrase that comes down to a few grunts.
Sadly, this new pain too has become bearable. After one day, it no longer drew my attention away from the necessities of my work.
And I feel proud that I have pain tolerance. This is the sort of insane thing that gets me through the day.
