Quake

The birds knew. They heard Earth thinking about a shift, a shrug. They repaired to the stability of air, where they might rest assured on fine individual engineering. On alleged ground, in our immense, inappropriate structures, we were by comparison large in our self-regard though miniature in our soon-to-be shaking skin. Solid ground is a compelling myth. Our material condition is liquid when it isn't vaporous or vacuous. Our feet knew. They felt Earth pass under us in squirts and waves. The planet is pieces and paste. It is going somewhere, we’re on it, and that is that.
