Realization

some thing just fell abruptly before me,
diverting myself for a moment or two.
it must have been leaning and inching,
itching for the first opportunity to dive
abundantly down to the cloudy carpet.
it must have been massaged, tickled by the air
relentlessly, chuckling anticipation.
to think
its only grasp against the smooth
surfaced paint was friction,
was resistance between its static identity and
the barrier from its dreams.
all that while it must have
peered over at its goal,
slipping nervously cautiously toward it,
holding back with all the desperate strength it could muster.
gravity triumphed.
the thing fell with a scream of glee and wonder
and joy and fear. I swear I heard it.
