Two students enter
As the field starts its spacetime equations,
The leaves on the trees whisper in the wind
Nervous yet cheerful, they rattle “here we go!”
The worms beneath the soil burrow
There’s an odor even in the nitrogen
Jupiter and Mars square off above
Generating a hum; a cosmic accompaniment
The two take their stance
As they widen their shoulders and hips,
Bend their elbows, knees and necks
In opposition, only to relish in one another's gravity
They nod their heads in fellowship
Recognizing that they both breathe the same air
Displaying themselves in proud humility,
they raise their eyebrows in agreement,
“I’m in.”
Their stomachs quiver
And then settle
Symmetrically bewitched, tremors thrill the air
The field intensifies
Unconfined electricity provokes a step towards one another
As they move in,
an irrepressible grin
Forward, Back
Hot, Cold
Bound, Free
Intrigued, Disgusted
High-harmonic generation
Anharmonic stagnation
Rejoicing. Suffering.
Death. Rebirth.
Life means keep surrendering.
