Family Physics
by Chris Sorrenti
for Jason
Forged of the same material, we race through time and space.
You, faster and faster around me, anxious to break free,
your pull growing stronger with each new orbit, yet still too young
to fully comprehend the forces in and around you;
atmosphere steadily forming, molten metal cooling,
mountains and valleys more prominent with each passing day.
How well you’ve learned to survive the occasional comet and asteroid;
mere shadows of what’s to come.
