Without
Resistance
We all fall
At the
Same rate,
My love,
I’ll meet you
At the bottom
Of everything,
Broken open,
Spilling hope.

@Aphelion i like this poem but we will fall at the same rate with gravity too. that guy had to fight the pope. there was like a whole thing.

@Forbearance I changed it to “resistance” because you are 100% right. Thank you 🖤

@Aphelion @Forbearance

Good change, to avoid a distracting snag, but at risk of abusing still another physical quantity, the real power of this poem is in the final lines.

I'll stop short of calling hope a truly strong force, lest a brawl break out among the physicists looking on, but not all truths need be spoken.

@Aphelion

This may use the language of physics. But it is about far more fundamental, personal matters. Keep the hope alive.
