Escaping Gravity
up down left or right
always traveling at the speed of light
always traveling out of sight
past each other
sisters and brothers
past our worries and our troubles
past our enemies and past our lovers.
north south east and west
no matter which we think is best
that direction brings us back to rest
the planet’s gravity pulls us back
since it’s generated by the masses of shadows black
the shadows which we can only see
when traveling at the speed of light to escape gravity.
