more thoughts

I am also
LEGITIMATELY 
fascinated by plate tectonics 

I have watched people's eyes go dull
listening to me try to explain it 
BUT 
I love all that earth stuff 
it's LIKE 
those
TOWEL MACHINES 
they had when I was a kid

the plates do THAT*
they come out
in the DEEP OCEAN
USUALLY 

*they don't really because they aren't connected it's more of a free floating situation, but there is subducting on the other end and that seems like the same thing to my child brain that delighted in machines I embarrassed my aunt joan one time because I wanted coins for the tampon machine I was obsessed with putting coins in gumball machines.  remember gumball machines?
