She pressed flowers,
Calla Lilies, Scarlet
Pimpernel, Bindweed
In her physics book, page one hundred
and thirty-four
where forces defined motion
"Weightlessness is not zero"
she skipped that sentence,
of reason and explanation
and settled for the crumbled
mummers of Biology
snug in the corners
of her physics book
Angelica Joy Romans
