The Weight of Gratitude

Maybe

we should

graciously

congratulate gravity

on its latest accomplishments?



And would gravity say,

“Aww, it’s nothing…"?



Or should we say,

“Thanks for nothing!...” ?



Gravid rainbows

gratuitous rain,

disgraced bees,

aggravated drivers,

grateful wind,

grieving survivors,

brutal facts,

all of them agree—

The world is heavy, folks—

but if it didn’t suck, we’d all fall off.
