Consider the gravity of a baby’s first step.
She waddles up to the coffee table but decides to reach for the apple slice in my hand.
Miraculously, she remains upright, but then collapses on the rug in one fell swoop.
One step for mankind makes it a banner day.
Food will always be a reward, a lure
Satisfaction with mission accomplished
We reach for a slice of the apple, the lure of the stars
Oh, the gravity of nature and its fundamental force
Drawing us upward but always striving for balance.
