Coil

Shuffle. Forward. Left magnet behind. Deep shade behind the crate. Straight line. Clack. Stiff feet struck heavy twist. Thick copper wire coil. Curled, rigid loop blocked legs. Kept walking. Arms clicked straight forward. Thunk. Hands pressed into stiff bronze loops. Metal sprang, rattled softly, then pinched tight against concrete floor. Push. Spring bounced back against square chest. Did not fall. Held fast in tight metallic cage. Grrr. Good trap. Stopped.
