SiLeNcE in Three Acts
Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica
THE FIRST LAW
Silently unanchored,
I ride capricious winds,
Leading me toward you;
Even with obstacles,
Nuanced potholes pock the substrate,
Commandeer my motion
En route to you
.
THE SECOND LAW
Subsequent forces
Impale me with urgency
Lightening my load
Even as I accelerate,
Negligently releasing the steering wheel,
Come what may
Eventually
.
THE THIRD LAW
Seeking, reaching, grasping,
Interception in a silent gestalt;
Locked together, interacting,
Equal torques —
Notwithstanding
Conservation of our angular momentum:
Equally and opposite, yet unspoken, engagement
.
