many fishes , dressed and perfumed to please , intensely aware of both their own and others bearing and demeanor , circling , circling , accidentally or not so accidentally brushing up against each other , recoiling from the contact as if shocked by some charge , circling again , never straying too far , brushing up again , recoiling again , on constant lookout , always moving as if the cessation of movementas with the sharkmeans death .
