And then it happened.

Amidst cosmic busting and booming

Gravity snapped,

That galactic rack and pinion.

Trees took off like rockets.

Cemeteries exploded.

The living and the dead

Flew straight up together.

Only up was gone. Up was away.

Earth still spun

As it stalled and drifted darkward,

Sublime,

An aspirin in a glass of water.
