There is pleasure 
in knowing 
but there is also

Little gaps in the
pavement, holes
dug in the dirt,
or what your

The idea of his body being out of his control aroused him and scared him all at once. He’d never really bought into Cartesian dualism, had considered the body and the mind as one thing when he thought about it at all, so having muscles flex and spasm without conscious thought was new and exciting and challenging all at once, at least at first, when it didn’t interfere with things. It was just a clever way of discovering new things about himself, watching how his body/mind responded to inputs. His hand twitched when he thought about television, but not if the subject was old sitcoms. His knee spasmed when he thought about the first time he kissed Rachel. His left shoulder would roll when someone he was fond of offered him alcohol.
