looking at this globe through a porthole
is watching orbit ring a bell
sliding doors and open windows
it's all about kinetics
as far as i can tell
the harder I push to get away
the faster gravity promotes increasing speed
and destination pulls me back, to when
your presence still knocks me off my feet
again

Hi- I'm here because I saw your blog listed on another poetry site.
I like the physics theme used here: globe/orbit/kinetics/gravity, speed---
They all work well together building up momentum to your closing "your presence still knocks me off my feet/
again" (nice placement of again w/ a line break, too)
Glad I found you.
I returned to see if there was a new post, but I understand Life needing to happen. I knew I had commented on this poem already, but I enjoyed reading it so much again, I wanted to tell you that!
