[Deborah Hoffman]

Did not mean to suggest it was - probably should have used "activity" instead of motion since I was mainly plugging the idea of contrasting being physically present and moving aimlessly with what the narrator claims he does. As Lily Alexander and Josh Wilson point out, some knowledge of Platonov in general is also probably indispensable in struggling with issues like this. Probably applies to all literary endeavors.
