It's always been
there,
historians lawfully agree,
like the God of
Moses
everywhere but
Space, the
Studio, &
the Laboratory, jealous as a drunken lover.
Time's variations unknown, unchecked,
doubted &
sensibly unchallenged, the
proverbial
Captain
Bring-Me-Down &
proof that the
world
sucks.
*Do you understand the
Gravity
of the situation? *
Everything from Law to
Order to
-sagging skin
-alcoholic stupor
- the aging thrill-seeker's squandered
Wisdom,
what we put up with
&just can't
stop
waiting for the other
shoe
to drop
the elevator that can't seem
to reach
the top
owes gravity a favor.
