SIR FUCKING NEWTON
By: Casey McCullough
I’d like to veto the law of gravity because I hate
being so drawn to you. At first it seemed like
my idea, being around you. That was until I
tried to move away and couldn’t move a muscle.
My body physically protested the distance; I
couldn’t eat, couldn’t sleep, I became sick more
often and tried to lose that feeling through
self-medication. There are other places I’d like
to orbit and I’m tired of being pulled where I
am not invited.
Fuck your gravity and the laws created for it
to keep me by you. I’m tired of fighting it and
tired of giving in. It’s like a catch-22 where
you are the catch and you’re fucking 22. These
are systems built against me to keep me from
winning and I am imploding like a supernova,
collapsing in on myself.
