A stopped escalator is just a staircase
And yet your foot leaves without you
Why do you stumble on a stopped escalator?
Your brain has memorized the push of the escalator
It files the move in a drawer, ready to pull out
Even warned, it happens
Two memories share the same body, and the one from the move decides faster than reason
It has a name: the broken escalator phenomenon
Like a phantom step or the sway after a boat ride, the body corrects a motion that already ended
Your brain was sure it was right
