Water Retention
there is no up or down
only where you stand on the ground
if you live at the south pole
you do not hang upside down
why is this important to know?
the Earth balances on an axis from pole to pole
what forces have caused this planet to tip?
historically speaking, it has been known to flip
asked where the safest place to be for a flip
a child answered, at the waist (not the hip)
meaning the equator, it would stay the same
for the rest of us, it would be a new game
as the glaciers and ice caps continue to melt
and the Earth spins, is there a bulge at her belt?
does her waist expand with her water retention
are there other imbalances she’d like to mention?
the following is important to mention
for as the moon and the planets align
there is a tug on Earth’s axis and spine
to stay in alignment and continue to spin
is the way we want each day to begin
