DC Motor between 2 Capacitors

A social media post triggered me to whip up this circuit. The question is, what is the voltage at the positive terminal of the motor with 12vdc applied? if these were perfect capacitors then no current should flow after the top one is charged up. However, if the time scale is slowed WAY down to 6 microseconds per second of real time, the graph shows miniscule pico-amp current fluctuations. Theoretically this could be caused by resistive leakage in the capacitors or by interaction with the motor as the cap charges. OR.. does this show calculation errors in the simulation? What do you think?
