I turn and begin to walk. These last few minutes have filled me with      such a sense of excitement and exuberance that I want to run as           fast  as I can in whichever direction I happen to be facing at the           time, just  so I don’t combust or float away. Probably for the self-       satisfaction of thinking that I’m “playing it cool” I have to calmly        and assuredly, but not arrogantly, walk away. The intense internal        pressure built up by controlling my urge to freak out in plain             sight creates this little twitch in my hamstring, not obvious or                      uncomfortable, but just barely perceptible and seemingly a bit              foolish, almost like the muscle is filled with the inhalation of                   a              helium balloon.

As I walk this light-hearted hamstring and the contraction of the         arch of my foot in order to keep from pressing the launch button in     my New Balances creates an un-replicable bounce in my step that        may or may not be outwardly visible, but it certainly feels like no way I’ve ever walked before. I stroll slowly as long as I can then oh-so-cool-ly turn the corner, and then I’m gone.
