walking

Description

Walking is lauded as the most primitive and free form of locomotion, yet in practice it demands a costly tribute of time and effort. With each step, one is peeled a little further from the conveniences of civilization, forced into a dialogue with personal lethargy. Claimed as a health-conscious choice, it humbles every pedestrian before traffic lights and steep inclines. Chosen by those lacking the courage for more convenient transport, it alternates between self-satisfaction and guilt. Touted as a multisensory urban experience, it is, at its core, a self-imposed limited tour.

Definitions

A procession of self-satisfaction teetering between health and laziness.
The choice of those too timid to buy rides with money.
A bodily audit that invoices travel expenses in sweat and water.
A reverse migration away from the comforts of civilization with each step.
A mirage that leads heart and body astray even along a straight line on paper.
An anthropological tour where one personally endures urban clamor.
A painful collateral demanded as proof of one’s health convictions.
A perpetual excuse for postponing exercise under various guises.
