the day was ordinary-seeming, but things were messed about. my lips turned up into a sort of smile while walking, which is out of the ordinary (i've been told i frown without intention, you see) and even otherwise grumpy individuals had little effect on my outlook, which was free-feeling. i would compare it to a floating sensation that i had previously only experienced while sleeping and hovering over the landscape.
my first reaction to this new found feeling was to wait for it to pass. i have dabbled in mind-altering and feeling-enhancing enjoyments from time to time--and with those indulgences have become used to the inevitable fall. but it had been several days and the pleasure of free remained without the aid of any magical device.
i enjoy humming a tune while doing anything mundane as a way to inject some sort of peace into rote tasks or responsibilities. this humming begins without force and only becomes noticeable to me when i realize that others are present. it is then that i cease to hum (or sing), change songs (to something socially acceptable) or sing with increased volume as to showcase my need for attention and ability to utilize my sound to evoke some semblance of confidence within myself.
at this very moment i am singing.
at this very moment i am free.
everyone should sing.
everyone should be free.
