Nighttime Cable Traverse

I grabbed the soft rubber groove of a coiled charging cable snaking across the desk tray. After bouncing around all day, my straw joints were craving a solid stretch. I hooked one knee over the thick black wire, swung upside down, and threaded a spare brass split pin right between two tight loops to anchor a steady bridge. With a smooth flick of my legs, I hauled myself atop the cable and perched, letting my joints cool off in the quiet room.
