feel no pain

i cannot feel pain in two places
simultaneously.
a pain relieving technique
that i commonly employ
is displacement.
i will cause pain in one part of my life
in order to overwhelm the senses.
i will foget the original source of pain
and concentrate on the new.
the problem is
the old pain never goes away.
the old pain is just ignored.
however
if enough of the ignored pain
has accumulated,
pain becomes relative
and
its existance
dulls the senses.
it is then
when one feels no pain.
