Noises take on crueller life;
A fall becomes a crash,
And every word becomes a knife
As your downward drift becomes a dash.

Gravity exerts a powerful pull, seemingly inexorable at times.
Yet the dreamers’ aspirations remain aloft. Striving. The next time a jet’s engines roar overhead, Rachel, look up and exult in their possibility. Bask in humanity’s shared exuberance.
…and consider what you’ve contributed to the upward trajectory.
