gravity
wanting something does nothing to make it so
just ask the poor who long for money
there is no mercy
if you want to see the true spirit of the rich
steal from their kitchens
while they are sleeping
and then there is death
and only death
until then there is this moment
and then the next
it is an unending spiral
that you cannot slow down
and cannot get off of
its momentum
is the tide
the pull of the moon
the scorch of the sun
it is all there
for all of us to see
as simple
as the apple
falling out of the tree
