If we hadn’t discovered Gravity,
Do you think we’d feel different?

Perhaps more unique?
Less aware that our relationship
To this earth is mimicked by
every other person
That we encounter.

Perhaps more able?
Would flight not seem so
Foreign
And unattainable,
And would it be less associated with
Aerodynamic engineering,
And more understood as  
Liberation.

So perhaps, we would feel more free.
As though we weren’t being pulled,
And ‘acted on’.
And instead, in ownership and
Powered by
Choice.

A free association,
A weightless laughter,
An endless day.

I would wish the apples away.
