"...Life's goal: being in controlWright's riding the T when he thinks of a trick, something he's never done before.

In his mind's eye, he pictures it. When the train pulls into Central Square, he jogs up the steps, pulls out the yo-yo, and tries it out.

In his hands, the yo-yo feints and dives. He builds traps for it out of string, but it escapes every time.

And just like that, he's invented something new.

"The appeal is physical manipulation," he says.

"You're controlling something, and being in control is what everyone wants," he says.

He makes the yo-yo leap onto the string and perch there, spinning.

He says, "I've had this theory about the meaning of life. You're ultimately trying to prove to yourself that you exist."

The yo-yo snaps back into his palm.

"It's why you do anything...."

Maybe you asked him, Hey, can you 'walk the dog'?

And Guy Wright wants to answer:

Come on, can't you see what I'm doing RIGHT NOW? I'm LIGHT-YEARS beyond 'walk the dog'!

But he's a nice person, so he doesn't.
