Laws of Physics

Heat moves
down
a
gradient.

She watches with one eye,
her face on the desk,
feeling her passion escape onto
the surface as
his pen swings an even wider arc.

For just a moment,
she trusts gravity.
She raises her hand and
reaches out to stop him.

Seek the pivot.
Seek the fulcrum.
They point to balance.

No matter that all
matter falls the same.
The rush of the speed
through this fall is
certainly unique.

What motives send them vibrating
-past,
-about,
-against?


The energy to step over detritus
becomes deficient
after prolongued contact
with a human wrecking ball.
