The Discomfort Of Mankind... Poem by Sebastian Soberania

first the apple
fell,
and then
Newton was
asleep
and he was
disturbed
when the apple
hit his head,

and so there was this
apple
that was the first thing
that happened,
and then it
fell and then
it created
a mess, a disturbance
an uneasiness,
a discomfort,
an inconvenience,

let me stop right there
this inconvenience
this discomfort
this sorrow this sadness
this lament
this depression
this inability to tolerate
the daily pains of our life
this predicament

which if it were not for it
(or that unsatisfying
curiosity)

then the law of gravity
that applies for all mankind
would not have been
discovered.
