The Equivalence Principle

Work with what is because its anchored in reality
it’s heavy baby so heavy
so much weight
so much mass
so much meaning and intention built in
the human eye perceives orange quickly
which is why we use it in our safety equipment
so much depth
so much weight
so much meaning
instead of wondering how much better it could be
stay broad
stay gold
stay orange in tone
in how you think about contingencies
because you’ll lead a saner life
heavily organized
using the weight of your eyes
and your mind
big and bright and infinitisemally small
not here at all for long and gone
like a good song you only ever got to hear once
heavy as fuck
grounded in experiencing sunsets
I wonder if this is how my mom felt
when she was my age and she was shacking up
with that 32 year old dude who didn’t have anything to his name but presence
an expansion of her universe
and was the same age as me at the time,
with a smile on her face that at 32 I didn’t understand yet
I wonder if she felt like this
alive and free and undeniably heavy
knowing desire leads to disappointment
what do you actually have that you can put your hands on
I hadn’t lived long enough to have the right amount of
“fuck all y’all” in my bloodstream yet.
I get it now.
Work with what is because its anchored in reality
it’s heavy baby so heavy.
Could it be better than now
who cares if you miss today
could it be worse though could it be surely
but this moment is over and how many more will you miss
in fantasy
Could it be is irrelevant you have to wait and see
Its a mind your business ass world girl
I didn’t know back then, but I heard and can feel it
do what you gotta do and who you can do it with
and if you can find something or someone that makes you happy
and is willing to put up with your infernal internal bullshit then enjoy
’cause its going down in ice, eventually
gravity and acceleration
They see your glow
I finally know
its heavy
its orange
and easy to gravitate towards
the dark matter is accelerating the expansion of the universe
heavy is what it is and it is heavy
so much weight
so deep and wide and long and everywhere
At some point if your kids ain’t happy about how you did shit
and they too are adults
then the contingencies of life is the reason
and there’s nothing to be done but get over it,
and get on with it,
because nobody is getting out of this
with perfection
at anything on any level that can change
the energy signature of the universe
or harness its powers to our benefits
not yet
not us
not now
not that
were not missing anything
could it be
were not missing anything
but this moment together
that we could enjoy
we have it all
the weight
the pain the burden the breathing the heaviness
the heart that is strong enough to carry it
All we have is smiles and fears
stay safe
the expansion of the universe is happening
against gravity’s will
stay safe
so what do you think you can
wish or want to do
that will change
the weight
the heaviness of belonging
and going with the flow
and holding firm and looking up
The conflict between how we think life should be
and how life is cannot be eliminated
I love him and he loves me
and its messy
and its heavy
and it is only for a little while on a little spinning rock
in these weak and fragile ass bodies
sailing into 96% of what we can’t even comprehend
out there
could it be different this time
this is the only time in which we exist
we can travel in our heads
way out there in god land
laying here imagining it
instead of looking right at it
through the heaviness
the weight
of saying yes
one more time
gravity and acceleration are locally indistinguishable
is the heaviness proof we moving baby
against gravity’s will
but unike the universe’s dark matter
we glow
I dont know could it be and has it been all along
work with what is because its anchored in reality
and for now we can paint the bricks of our home orange…..
