June 14, 2010: journal entry

Her laughter in the kitchen sounded like

it had learnt the language of eucalyptus.

Then, Miss Kay asked why clouds don’t fall.

I said something about warmth and altitude,

but thought of grace instead.

This morning I read from Ecclesiastes,

then wrote half a stanza about shadows falling inward.

The kettle hissed, I answered.

Not the poem-- but the Day.

Strangely enough, I just watched an episode of startalk, where Neil Degrasse Tyson explained that very thing - why clouds don't fall, and I still couldn't tell you why. Think it had something to do with humidity.
But hey, if you'd have known that you wouldn't have ended up with that journal entry! 😃
