Push Back

Inertia: The vis insita, or innate force of matter, is a power of resisting by which every body, as much as in it lies, endeavours to preserve its present state, whether it be of rest or of moving uniformly forward in a straight line. Source

Push Back (A Poem)

Tell me something I don't know, I don't know

Tell me something new.

Is this the infamous life?

Is this me though, or You?

When the brown rain falls in earnest

Shall I pick up and run?

When the stains are on my shoulders,

Shall I deny it all, as "done?"

I tried that line before, but 

True stories are told on my shoulders, 

New me thinks so, too. 

Tell her what you learned

Tell her what you learned.

Believe no rain is wasted, until you do

Train your arms to speak

Don't lose the auspicious goo

Life is in your memory

Time makes you,

So lovely.

Oh the hope of forever slanting ground for you and me!
