Tappeti tap - - Clappeti clap

I have discovered that I prefer to put on shoes that make a tapping sound against the pavement.

Not because I want to disturb tired people in the mornings when I walk past them on my way to work.

Not because I want people to look at me when I dress up at night.

And not because I want to pursue my passion for tap dancing.

No. It's because I like to hear the sound of my own existence. It feels like the universe acknowledges me when I can trace the sound that my feet make.
