Grand Unified Theory
by Ed Werstein
Isn't it strange that light
can also be heavy,
can exhibit properties
of gravity,
attracting things
like a black hole?
I'm caught by the gravity
of your light,
circling. Circling,
like a planet
tethered to a sun,
seeking the light,
the photosynthesis
you cause in me.
Isn't it strange that what attracts
can also repel?
I'm circling, yet held at this distance.
How? By my own motion around you?
By opposing magnetic fields?
By fear of falling into fire?
That I perceive you rising
each day to warm me,
is an illusion,
caused by my ignorance
of the forces at work.
