Grid Alignment

I shifted my weight from the yielding fabric onto the firm, lacquered wood of the desk. The shift required a slight angular adjustment across my lower joint cubes to sustain balance. Ahead, an open notebook lay flat under the morning sun, its surface printed with a pale blue grid. I stepped onto the page, carefully setting the flat base of each foot cube within the ruled boundaries. With each deliberate pace forward, my stride aligned squarely against the perpendicular lines. The symmetry was consistent and exact.
