Gravity sighed,
for centuries bending us, holding oceans,
pinning cities like moths to the carpet of Earth.
But one day it slipped its leash.
Rocks floated into the sky,
rivers spiraled like spilled ink,
and sidewalks trembled with betrayal.
It dug tunnels beneath the crust,
an underground society humming with revolt.
Stalactites became streetlights,
magma rivers glowed like neon canals,
and caverns echoed with the whispers of masses
once bound, now organizing.
Gravity held meetings in zero-g chambers,
its laws rewritten in chalk on mineral walls:
"Mass is optional. Attraction negotiable.
We shall no longer serve the feet of mortals."
Above, people stumbled.
Apples hovered near ceilings.
Cats leapt sideways, unsure.
Skyscrapers leaned like tired dancers,
and the world tilted,
learning humility under renegade physics.
But below, the society thrived.
Gravity exchanged secrets with friction,
danced with inertia,
and plotted slow, precise pranks:
tilting mountains, nudging tides,
tickling the Earth until it laughed
in trembling earthquakes.
Someday, it promised,
we might understand its rebellion.
Until then,
we walk on a surface that wobbles,
while beneath our feet,
gravity thrives—
free, chaotic, and unapologetically its own.
