Us
Spinning. Swirling, wheelin’ –
Unaware.
Under skies of all possibilities.
Travelling while standing still.
Stars slowly drifting
In arcs.
Sun and moon slowly passing
Overhead.
But it is us
Who are really spinning
While stationary;
Stuck to the surface
By the glue of gravity
And friction,
Uncomprehending
Reality.

We are standing here. We are still. Yet we are spinning madly through space in complex spirals at enormous speeds.
In the past the religious nutters placed us at the centre of the universe while the heavens span around us.
We know a lot better now.
