Orin's condo morning: the punter's lopsided body
He uses his smaller right arm to eat and drink. His oversized left arm and big left leg remain at rest at all times in the morning.
Context
Orin's body has been remade by his single athletic function. He "uses his smaller right arm to eat and drink," while "his oversized left arm and big left leg remain at rest at all times in the morning" — the kicking side hypertrophied, the rest of him vestigial by comparison. The specialist athlete's body grows asymmetrical around its one job; the punter is mostly a left leg, and the smaller half of him does the living. It's body-as-machine taken to the limit of specialization, where the instrument has overtaken the man.
