Quiver in   Thought Janet Kuypers 1/12/19 Think if it as R.E.M. sleep, when your eyes dart back and forth, your eyes seem to quiver in thought, processing your day, at the one time when you have no muscle control and cannot react... Unlike being catatonic; unlike having no response. Because, you see, when you hear me, I want you to react. I want to make your eyes dart in thought. Even when closed, when you think of me I want your eyes to move like you’re in R.E.M. sleep. But remember, I only want you to lose control of all of your muscles only because of me.
