newton was a romantic

look at his 2nd law
for proof
the closer two objects,
the stronger their attraction
I have been falling toward her
since I branched off my family tree
I have been a wanderlust apple
tested by thermodynamics
and found wanting,
weighted with lack
avoiding close and near
his 1st law,
the conservation of energy
predicted my wait.
this vacancy has been hers
this awakening is not what I thought
it'd be
is it possible to ever care
and not be terrified?
as we approach the 3rd law
I am prostrate, open, humbled
newton's triptych is climactic
1patience 2intimacy 3zero, absolutely zero
he knew;
I have always been falling toward her
entropically
