the laws of physics, meet the laws of human nature

spinning plates
are always white unblemished so their breaking into pieces
is more visually enthralling and definite

been a spinner magico for so long, you’d think I deserve some
gravitational dispensation

it doesn’t work that way

when you learn to be a spinner, they teach catching too

but that was so long ago,
tho the endless spin slowing,
obedient to the laws of physics,
the human laws of the physical
give time power over gravity

making the eyes weaker
the hands tremulous
the arms woodenly worth less

so a crash is a forethought, imagined, inevitable

time is the most powerful force in the universe

the laws of physics, meet the laws of human nature

I felt like Santa last night
Creeping through the house
Printing out the poem I wrote
Setting up the gift on the counter
In the middle of the night as my husband was sleeping
Only thing that wasn’t there was milk and cookies haha
to my husband surprise, he saw the gift when he woke up
He said Happy Anniversary baby I love you
Then he says “I got nothing for you”
Baby, it’s not about getting me anything because 9 years ago today, you gave me your heart....

Baby, I Love You....
