Orbiting Void (physics of an unknown humanoid)
When an object is in orbit
actually falling the entire time
it moves to the side fast enough
to always miss the surface of its master


how do you sleep
how do you autopilot
this world, this realm without
sustaining a few scrapes, dings?

how do you stay afloat
how do you stay fleet
when this world crushes as it rolls?

stay in motion, never quit
only do, just do

When an object finds itself
floating free in your space
sending transmissions to the surface
are they received? conceived?

who am i talking to but me?
could i survive an ellipsoid?
stretching myself eternally around you?

I travel thrice the speed
of man made obstacles thwarting
my every entry into your atmosphere
do I redirect, risk miscalculation?

Float free, young Jedi, do
I'll be young eternally
as long as this space has bandwidth
as long as Elon Musk provides free service?

lines and lines of free (this) verse
Imagine the italicized as clouds (or fog, located down here)

sorry Ukraine, we needed someone/thing to root for as we dull, dim, go out before the rush into total darkness

too deep, Brian. too, too deep
rejoin us. Besides, not the point. Rejoining now..

this could have been about a stone skipping across water, if we could slow its 3 second life to 85 years?
