Pancakes for breakfast,

resting, spreading on oil.

 

What if scientists recanted?

What if the sphere was a sham?

What if science was ashamed?

 

She is flat after all

and done on one side for sure.

A solar flare spatula slides under.

Talk about turning the world upside down.

 

I wonder who would live on the edge

and dangle their feet in the deep blue ocean?

I know some people who are afraid of heights

and some who are afraid of depths.

 

Vincent stepped off into the starry night.

Einsteinโ€™s theory was thrown like a Frisbee.

Apollo 13 had another problem for Houston.

Mark Heardโ€™s Satellite Skies wouldnโ€™t be.

Grass would always be greener on the other side of the universe.

 

Spherical, severe it all is.

Earth, like a curve ball, draws circles around the sun.

Our linear conscience rides its precipice free epidermis.

Gravity keeps us grounded.

Gravity keeps us orbiting subconsciously.

 

I would rather be pulled than flipped.

Psalm 19:1-6
