Meaning

This reads as a neat portrait of extremes. It suggests a person who moves between total stillness and full speed, with little interest in the middle, and can be taken to mean that energy comes in bursts rather than in moderation. It lands in moments when someone recognises their own uneven rhythm, at work, in creativity, or under stress.
