Issac Newton Drowned Today
Issac Newton fell off the boat and drowned today.
Well, I gave him a little push.
It happened when the Humpback breached,
Not a rude tail slap
Or a flirty little flipper flap
But an in your face
Look at me, Bro
There ain't no gravity
Jump up and go around the Sun
Kind of breach.
Over and done in an instant.
And Sir Issac fell in.
For at that instant
At that unrecorded spot
In the North Atlantic,
Apples fell upward
And the calculus didn't work.
Ancient Sea swirls, beams of Life, and shards of Sun
Shot skyward
In a salute to Beauty,
In a boiling splash of spontaneity,
In protest of Euclidean smoothness,
In celebration of
