Gravity...
And time:
Racing, laughing,
Nipping at our heels...
Wagering on which
Will bring us down.
Basal inertia.
Three score and ten.
Not enough, not nearly enough.
Weep, then.
That's it;
All you'll get.
Always has been
Always will be.
Not enough.
Poor disenheartened man:
Knowing that he may not know all.
Not enough time,
Too much gravity.
Drag, drag, tick tock.
Wearing away the muscles
Wearing away the bones
Wearing away the brain.
Too much gravity
Not enough time.
Time...
Gravity...
Racing towards the
Catastrophic entropy.
Or maybe not.
