take a glorious bite out of the whole world. (original) (raw)

it's like when you're a kid—the first time they tell you that the world's turning and you just can't quite believe it because everything looks like it's standing still. i can feel it. the turn of the earth. the ground beneath our feet is spinning at a thousand miles an hour and the entire planet is hurtling around the sun at sixty-seven thousand miles an hour and i can feel it. we're falling through space, you and me. clinging to the skin of this tiny little world, and if we let go... that's who i am.
