Eats dirt: the form of locomotion a worm uses to navigate the earth. The worm moves along the path of least resistance, goes where the dirt ain’t. They don’t care what Kennedy said about going to the moon being hard. Fuck hard. The worm opens a cylindrical space ahead and slips through it. The space closes behind it. Like a fish in water, opening holes and closing them. The absence of light matters little, worms go by feel, following the soft. The Easy Way. They make holes, they fill holes. They move underground. How many? Billions upon billions. As clouds obscure the stars, so dirt covers the worms. What happens to worms when the ground freezes? It remains an open question. Google could find the answer. We form answers from the arrangement of atomic particles we can't see in a substrate. Electrons flow one way and the holes they leave behind flow the other way. Electrons carry a negative charge; its hole is positive relative to it. Things are relative to each other in ways seen and unseen. Take a circle. Fill it with worms.
