it’s so simple 

     
    it’s so simple 
    that the firm flat ground 
    beneath our feet 
    is actually an enormous sphere 
    which spins at a thousand miles an hour 
    and that gravity 
    is the mystical force that holds us in 
    and makes the planets move 
    around in space 
    which is simply a great emptiness 
    being whisked along by time.

laying bare the soul of the issue.
