Quantum Martini, Shaken not Stirred!

The deep blue kiss of gravity
Is like birth-
Inescapable.
Already monumentally
Undeniably
There.

It is not fiction!
Gravity is serious matter.
Invisible conjecture
Based on observation
And yet
Harder than gods
And thicker than souls
It pulls and pulls
And in its wake
Come Worlds!

This gravity
Has a hold of me
And it won't let
Me past this place

In much the same way
I grip this last Martini.

Awesome, someone else who is into gravity.
It's my job, too. I even wrote a poem called 'nuclear.'
This is great, I gel with it yeah. Cool ending, a fun twist on an otherwise heavy matter.

Love it that gravity has hold of you like you hold the martini, you can really imagine the simile. Good job.

Feeling like you're standing still and not moving on maybe you should try a different fuel to help you move on? -Good writing as usual.-B

I love your double use of gravity as a physics concept and a word to describe "serious matters."
