Twitch


An involuntary spasm of the muscles;
Correlated negatively with comfort
and consciously choosing to flail like a weirdo;

Calls to mind the sense one is a marionette
and some hidden master plucks your puppet chords;
Unobtrusive to external view
jarring for the unstill fidgeteer

Business as usual
One moment-

And then,
a lightning strike to the nerves...




JOLT!
