After procuring a pair of running shoes I have begun going to a nearby track, where I jog in circles on the sort of rubbery turf they pad pre-school playgrounds with, huffing and panting my way around the circumference alongside my fellow red-faced, sweat-pants wearing citizens.
Wait... this means my thighs are the same circumference as my skull.
Sat on the tube home, I imagine my illuminated little circumference moving across London like one of those tracker maps of solar eclipse patterns.
In the months after I was born, the doctor was so alarmed by the circumference of my head that she insisted my parents bring me back, over and over, to be weighed and measured and held up for scrutiny next to the "normal" babies.
I ran my hands across its width, feeling the ridges of decades upon decades, stopping at the heart of the trunk, a pale circle the circumference of my pinky that represented its first year of life.
Their stiff precision calls to mind Mr. Freud's remark to Mr. Feaver that "sometimes when I've been staring too hard I've noticed that I could see the circumference of my own eye".
I paid particular attention to the charts of infants, plotting weight and length and head circumference with my pen month by month to show parents how their babies were growing, to reassure them when they worried that there wasn't enough breast milk or because their babies were spitting up a little.
At age 20 I felt near-constant panic about the circumference of my thighs.
Yeah they're sort of ridged around the circumference, but my dumpy digits are never quite as secure when battling through Bloodborne as they are cruising through Dying Light on the Xbone.
I could not stop for that--My Business is Circumference--An ignorance, not of Customs, but if caught with the Dawn--or the Sunset see me--Myself the only Kangaroo among the Beauty, Sir, if you please, it afflicts me, and I thought that instruction would take it away.
In three weeks, my arms (contracted) grew over an inch in circumference (12 inches to 13.25) and my chest grew an inch, 38 to 39 inches.
