Proper Distance

The proper distance

we were both terrible at physics

we'd get too close

then bounce back

out of range of gravitational force

spun out alone with some

dark matter

when we were too far away

we'd start to shake

clinging onto anything 

readily at hand

damage done 

apologies made 

in retrospect it would've been easier

to stay in place

buy a calculator 

and just learn some trig
