Oddities about gravity

Gravity


Gravity has no properties

No formal place of residence

There, a push, a pull of time

No education to speak of

Within, without a need to worry

A toy called inertia waiting on a cause


Gravity is your drunken friend at midnight

It takes your wife and steals your money

Leaves your wallet because it’s nice

And never lies because it’s in disguise


Gravity hates formalities like Robert

Let’s call it Bob because it bobs about

On stormy ocean surfaces

In outer space on waves of light

Riding surfaces of time and tide


Gravity is invisible to the touch

Rolling off the tongue into infinity

Sticking on to surfaces of other worlds

Turning at the curve of universes


Gravity is the dice of God

Who leaves nothing to chance

Tossing worlds like marbles to the stars

Swirling around in motion where they are


Gravity never sleeps beneath the sheets

It resides much deeper in the crevasses

The tiniest atoms want to have its baby

Down there in the fabric of time

Where crime abides
