A Theme Thursday Post...Surface

..on the surface

The surface tension turnabout
now we slide, a backlog of Newtonian laws
retrospect and derelict
canceled with no explanation.

The moon's got nothing on this
those old black and white pictures
the slow motion
and garbled transmissions—
link to the archives
of technology.

On the surface we slide
a running start combined
with hum and harmony
and spinning we pinball into
concussions and splintered
infrastructures.

Who, we ask, deleted
nature's conventions?
Why, we ponder, the change
in normality. Or did we with excess
spend our last quarters
frivolously?

Gas the rotational
machinery. Strap on
the Velcro and dodge
the heretics that cry out
Doom.
Gas up with sugar and coffee pills
and run for your lives.
Stop the babies floating
up to ozone.
Walk for life, stroll
for the planet,
skip for yoursurface.
