Cretan Maineiac - Gravity

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.
