Oh, Mr. Newton,
must you break my heart?
You pulled my dreams of independent flight
out from under my feet.
Made them crash down
just like that heavy, tasty apple.
And all of a sudden
I feel the weight of the atmosphere,
hoping it won't prove to be too much
for my flightless, human shoulders.
So was it jealousy?
Could you not float as well as the rest?
Was it your lack of grace and adventure
that caused you to invent gravity?

ReplyDeleteDude! i love this with most of my heart! Haha, i now have soomeone to blame for my inability to soar through the skys in defiance of sir newton's discovery!
ReplyDeleteBecause of course everyone could fly before his historical mistake... I think from now on i'ma just say His Torical Mistake. Sounds funner. everyone will know what i mean.
Peace and blessings!
W.I.E. (Worst Invention EVER)
ReplyDeleteIf it wasn't for him I'd be able to leap higher and better than I actually can!
I enjoy your little revelations, you Tiny Amazon, you ;-)
