ReplyDeleteHmmm... don't you overcome inertia (the tendency for an object in motion to stay in motion) by applying friction?
ReplyDeleteYou are correct, Eric, thank you for the definition. All this time I had the impression inertia is what keeps an object from randomly moving from a stop. My teenagers helped me harness the property of inertia in space. .....from the couch, however, it's another matter....Ha!
ReplyDeleteWell, the rest of your 'science' was spot-on and cleverly utilized.
ReplyDeleteYes, couches are a wonderful invention... but I usually default to my La-Z-Boy recliner.
Hmmmm....
ReplyDeleteI'm Chopped liver now?
It's a good thing I checked....

I liked the spacing and the pacing and the feel of this poem. And as I'm laying on my sofa right now, I'm loving it even more because I think inertia agrees with me!
