The curve of the Earth goes looking for you
It wants to find your trough
Stop eating for a moment
For this data is quite rough
It wants to tell you something
Why to this marble you are glued
Only now the revelation
After eons have accrued
It'll be different for you and me
And all that touch the ground
Why gravity is set that way
Almost but not quite bound
It lets you jump and skip
Without floating through the ether
Or getting crushed to bits
Each human
Whale
And caterpillar
Semi fixed in place
All tiny flavours slowly mix
But if just one evaporates
Premature
The brew is ruined
Can't be fixed
Climbing mountains
Aviation
Space flight
Are resistance to the plan
To keep all ingredients
Aboiling in the pan
The stew is almost ready
It just needs a bit more salt
Unless we truly slip them surly bonds
But that deffo won't be my fault.
