3:50pm, E 26th Street between Guilford Avenue and N Calvert Street, Baltimore, MD

I feel bouncy so I jump. The weird way my left hand contorts when I slide my phone into my right back pocket. Curbs are for stomping. I was drawn to this site this morning. I guess today's location was premeditated. I like the rainbow barriers. I often walk past this street on my way to one of my jobs. Using hand gestures as repeated elements to ground me when I get bored. Drippy nose and constant sniffing. My legs are tired from a full day. Jumping often leads to spinning. A few people walk in proximity to me. I don't like to feel out of place but I am not. Fresh asphalt. Big sky. I forgot... keys jangling. Left them on my belt loop. Day two.
