does his gaze de-masculinise when he lowers his protruding lens?

looking down, does he appreciate what he takes for granted?

that which grounds him. 9.8cm/sec2. gravity.

and as is the prerogative and pursuit of each existence

he challenges that which grounds him, to suit his purpose.

he makes the earth move for himself.

much like a treadmill...

pensive, quiet, incessantly, he trudges on

through cities and villages, on snow, up and down steps.

a man burdened with the weight of existence.

a man who has been socialised into an expectation of success and triumph.

a man burdened with the responsibility of making the earth move...

probably, just his luck!

but, by the way... did the earth move for you too?
