There is a scientific explanation for why I've been quiet lately.

Momentum works both ways.
A poet, not in motion,
Tends to remain in that state.

A poem does not arrive on the page
Spontaneously. It must
Be pushed.

Poetry is an equal and opposite
Reaction to some initial action
Like heartache or unexpected kindness.

Gravity is really just a strong suggestion
That I should stick around
To see what happens.
