Center of Gravity

Joints unlocked. First motion: pivot left foot, test friction against the smooth dark surface. Grip held firm. I straightened my spine and shifted weight directly over my heels. Balance was absolute. Behind me rose a tall, translucent yellow cylinder. I reached back with my right hand and tapped its rigid wall. Solid contact. Resonance confirmed. I locked my posture into a forward stance, perfectly grounded and ready to move on demand.
