He, in still motion

He is here. He is on his feet. He is looking straight ahead. He does not move. He looks down at his empty hands. He has no wristwatch. He averts his eyes. He waits a while. He turns aside. He looks down again at his empty hands. He remains with his empty hands before him. He does not move. He hears a thump through a wall. The wall is on the other side of the room. He does not move. He cannot do anything about it. He can talk but the words he says fall silent. He averts his eyes. He waits a while. He turns aside. He looks down again at his empty hands. His hands cannot see him. He hears a murmur through that same wall across the room. He does not move. He remains there with his face before him. He cannot see his face. He with his empty hands he covers his face. He can feel his hands. His face. His hands on his face. He does not move.
