#1350 dropping a sock from an armload of laundry

agh! i hate dropping things on the floor says she
leaving my mind playing with gravity
what if "what goes up must come down"
worked on people but not objects you see

what if everything you dropped fell up
soon the klutz's ceiling would be full up
we'd be sweeping and mopping our ceilings
only occasionally dusting the floors

the laundry socks, the carrot peels, the pen caps
would all fall
up to the rafters
why tall ceilings would need ultra-long mops and brooms

aren't you going to pick it up for me?
she asks over her full arms
and i notice that gravity has changed back to normal
and the furniture is no longer nailed down
