Gravity sucks
pulling you down
largest object winning
thoughtless and pointless
a dark, dragging well
consuming you
totally

Thinking that ground is solid
it's only a illusive barrier
where your foot should have stopped
rushing down into the earth
no idea how deep it goes
smashed suddenly
broken bones or worse
a lifeless muddle

But powered by creativity
rockets blast into orbit
spinning easily about
or zipping away
freed from the pull
embracing space

Amazing to escape
a reality constant
if only for an eon
it's a human eternity.
