Click click goes my toe clips as I'm coming down the stairs. Click clack goes the pedals binding me to the open air. And I'm up now, I'm alive and I'm donning brand new armor. I'm like an iron clad centaur with wheels where my legs should be. Weekday lunchtime, I'm grinding the pavement, swerving through the thick of it. Rush hour traffic sits patiently as I blast right through it. Intersection puzzles present me with a way to think logically Green Light means hustle. Yellow just go. Red means hustle faster. Sprinting up hills and my legs forget that their not actually running. Maneuvering through the pedestrians and my mind is literally flying. I'm moving through the city like a shark in his natural water kingdom. Pulling doubles and triples all day long and forever. This union of flesh and steel has made me superhuman; almost god-like I think I've evolved into the most efficient life form on the planet. My instrument has reduced me to the most basic set of instincts. Stay alive at all costs in order to be the force that I'm meant to be. My enemies are ice and automobiles but it's only temporary. Because I know in the end we're all a part of the same thing. A thorn in my tire will leave me grounded but only momentarily, then I'm back up and running like a cheetah on the hunt. Bowing for that moment when the Psych students manifest their mind powers stopping traffic. Then I'm back on track blowing stop signs and silently laughing. Racing through this city grid faster than I ever thought possible, and no car can pass through an underpass S curve like I can. I'm only one small leaf in a forest of big trees. I'm only one sun in the enormity of a star field. I'm only one element in this myriad of little things. I'm only one being in the whole of humanity. I'm not the solitary force moving through the cosmos as I'd once perceived. Through this chaos I manage to glimpse a sense of a larger thing around me. This interconnected way in which everything came to be. Everybody knows that our cities were built to be destroyed.
