Gravity

I truly love this strangely wonderful woman but, when she tells me she doesn’t believe in gravity, I have to laugh.
I hug her and try to explain that it’s not a concept but a law of physics.
If you say so, she smiles her gentle smile, but if you can’t fly you’ll need to improvise.
I’m still shaking my head, all chuckles, when she takes my hand and we both float into the air.
In my astonishment I can hardly splutter out my questions as to how this is possible.
Just relax and enjoy the flight, she laughs, laws are made to be broken.

About ceayr

A Scot who has discovered peace in a small town he calls Medville on the Côte Vermeille, C.E. Ayr has spent a large part of his life in the West of Scotland and a large part elsewhere. His first job was selling programmes at his local football club and he has since tried 73 other career paths, the longest being in IT, with varying degrees of success. He is somewhat nomadic, fairly irresponsible and, according to his darling daughter, a bit random. So, nobody’s perfect.

    I like this story, which reminds me of a painting by Marc Chagall, in which a couple is floating in the air.
