I'm Always Walking.

I'm always walking. Walking allows me to understand my existence. I walk with great focus, walking in a straight line, to the end, then back. From one box, to another box, carrying a feeling of pilgrimage, and feeling every signal that every nerve on the bottom of my foot transmits to my brain.
The purpose of all visual and auditory senses, after receiving the signal, is for one to self-examine one's soul and confirm one's existence. A person never stops changing one's posture in a space and walking to and fro. Buried in one's rhythmic walk, deeply stepping into earth, to confirm the once-existence of muscles and tendons. The discontent against the cage, letting out a sigh in an echoless air, grasping hard in both hands the rubble that will inevitably drop to the floor (the harder one grasps, the faster they drop). Whether conscious or unconscious of the growing emptiness in the palm, the remaining dust in one's palm is merely a sleeping shell of empathy.
Horses, who enjoy running, dash in the hundreds into the ground. Like an invisible current rushing beneath the feet, the direction and result of the dash is a looped track, an unending and restlessly run.
A spinning chair, without a front or a back, seems to suggest that one can sit on it and move, but actually, one cannot go anywhere. One merely follows its rotation and realizes the passing of time, following our rushing back-and-fro, standing in place, and moving in place, time slowly dissipates. But we still walk about everyday, transporting oneself from one seat to another.
