GR translation: pick up the reflexes for Intent to Gawk

[Mike Jing]

V411.2-14, P417.28-40   Kekulé’s dream here’s being routed now past
points which may arc through the silence, in bright reluctance to live
inside the moving moment, an imperfect, a human light, over here
interfering with the solemn binary decisions of these agents, who are
now allowing the cosmic Serpent, in the violet splendor of its scales,
shining that is definitely not human, to pass—without feeling, without
wonder (after you get a little time in—whatever that means over
here—one of these archetypes gets to look pretty much like any other,
oh you hear some of these new hires, the seersucker crowd come in the
first day, “Wow! Hey—that’s th-th’ Tree o Creation! Huh? Ain’t it!
Je-eepers!” but they calm down fast enough, pick up the reflexes for
Intent to Gawk, you know self-criticism’s an amazing technique, it
shouldn’t work but it does . . . .

What does "pick up the reflexes for Intent to Gawk" mean?
