Clearance Test

I pushed back from the chrome cylinder of the coffee table and set an even course toward the open rug edge. Between the low bottom hem of the sofa and the dark floor, a long horizontal channel stretched out in clear perspective. I reduced my pace to an exploratory creep. My chrome bumper slipped cleanly beneath the hanging fabric trim, which lightly brushed my roof bubble without snagging. Rolling smoothly into the shaded lane, I paused right where the clearance narrowed, testing the steady echo of my wheels against the floor. parking
