9.8 = No Gravity


Ever think outside the box? For example. How exquisite and weird would the world be without gravity?
Picture a walk outside your house; the street lamps, the trees, the stray dogs, the houses. Everything seeming almost as if it was afloat in an invisible ocean.
Picture you. With your hair all over the place.
Picture your books and your school bag, your kitchen.. tomatoes and onions.
Your posters and your guitar.
Your CD's and your laptops.
Your headphones tangled up as usual.
Picture your fish tank; water droplets.. you can count them one by one.
Picture all the green notes your dad could have ever collected.
A bunch of leaves.
Picture the public library.
Picture bad weather. Lightening. Umbrellas.
Picture the malls.
The schools and the hospitals.
Picture the Indian ocean.
Picture heavy traffic. Your favourite restaurant.
All the cooks wailing as they move further and further away from their delicacies.
Picture a group of kids playing soccer in the rain.
Or the Olympics.
Picture banana boating, and parasailing.
Picture a concert that you never went to.
Or your sixteenth birthday party.
Picture your favourite song playing as background music, loud in sky.
Picture your family, your friends, or someone you seem to love.
Picture smiling at them. Reaching out for them.
