S’s Complicated Relationship with Gravity
Waves of gravity
line up for government cheese.
The sons of gravity itself roll out of cardboard boxes.
The gods we marry are exactly the gods we aim to please.
Turkeys on the
hillside hide from hikers in the way –
lizards slink away in the underbrush, quick, quick,
and the cops look away from the menagerie at play.
Oh yes, both
streets and hills are full tonight --
the son of darkness itself is the apex predator.
The sons of gravity itself roll out of cardboard boxes.
The gods we marry are exactly the gods we aim to please.
lizards slink away in the underbrush, quick, quick,
and the cops look away from the menagerie at play.
the son of darkness itself is the apex predator.
S can’t resist
him.
