Gravity
What if gravity decided to turn around?
 I mean let’s face it, gravity must be tired
 Exhausted, actually
 Of constantly heading
 Down…
   Down…
     Down…
 Towards the scorching hot center
 Of the insignificant, spherical mass we live on.
 
 What if one-day gravity had a change of heart?
 What if it decided it wanted to reach for the stars?
 Literally.
 I mean we say gravity is -9.8 meters per second squared
 But I’m sure gravity is a positive guy
 And that negative sign really brings him down
 
 I guess gravity is just tired
 Tired of constantly
 Moving…
   Pushing…
     Shoving…
 And it’s resting
 Conserving energy to eventually flip itself around.
 
 Or maybe gravity feels responsible.
 I mean if gravity changed its path
 We could kiss our lives goodbye
 As we float up towards our oxygen-less death.
 
 I’d like to think that it’s the latter,
 That gravity really does care about us.
 But, don’t be surprised if one day
 We meet while floating up through the sky.
