The body, like a crowd, moves without a mind. Moves without
an ambit. Tilts without an axis. Pulls without a magnet. A school
of fish could tell you that: the wind is more a rudder than a mast.

2

The body, like the mind, moves in crowds. [A worm, or wave,
or kiln] could tell you that. [The worm, a solitary iteration of the] fish.
[The wave, a solitary iteration of] the wind. [The kiln is thinking itself
warm.]

3

The body moves with [a] crowded mind. A worm or wave could tell
you that. The worm [with the mind of a] fish. [The fish with the mind
of a] wave. [The wave with the mind of a] kiln, thinking itself warm.
