We are neither programmed for movement
nor stillness. We are not programmed at all.
We do tend to mobility however. Rather
than be still, we walk, kick, fiddle, nod, tap.
Our minds move. We grapple, weigh up, tongue-wag,
gesticulate, eye-rake, sniff, lick, munch, caress.
At night, we lie but air still moves within us. Cool
and dry on the intake, warm and moist on exhalation.
And our inner worlds move on as we roll over,
stretch, spread and roil in dreamscapes.
Our conscious selves rarely squat on a second.
Off we trundle in our mind's eye to years ago
or to the supermarket later this afternoon
traipsing down the aisle behind a trolley.
Be they habitual or new directional, our lives
chug along in mysterious perpetual motion.
