Gravity Reworked

I thought for a moment that by 
     enhancing gravity I could bring
     a softness to the harsh
     edge of the universe.

But you reminded me, of course,
     that there is no edge
     and that increasing gravity
     would only weigh us down more
     with the many cares 
     that come with being human.

Despite this I was glad 
     to be with you.
Glad to be human with you.
