She dives into the indoor pool at the REC center
Her mind seems to drift into an arbitrary atmosphere
as her physical body becomes submerged under chlorinated water
isolating the movement of her functioning lungs she looks up at the rippling waters surface
She lies belly up and the water around her incases her every shape and imperfection.
She prefers this place, which fits and shifts to her every move,
the atmosphere of her own creation
