Newton’s 2nd Law & Common Sense

Force

three things:
.1. the future’s unknown,
2. I’ll never know what it meant till it’s past,
neither its force nor mass, nor
(3.) the speed
with which its die is cast 

moving straight ahead in time,
if nothing’s pulling me aside
I’ll move this way forever
in an
infinite line
infinity
if I’m moving neither straight nor true
I’ll know I’m being dragged by force
—in the short run this may not matter,
but still, as math & human nature shows,
swerve I will (more foolish the faster)

if I swerve from true toward lies I’m chasing after,
which I haven’t had the sense to master,
it may
very well become disaster, but
I’ll never know till what comes after

Jim Culleny, 8/8/16
