Advancing to Celestial Mechanics
 Jennifer LeyI used to think knowing the y of it led to solving the equation, was one of those lynch pins you drop into a broken mechanism to see it grind to life again, pulleys in place. The fulcrum would shift, move me if not mountains. This before I learned of Foucault, the uncertain properties of pendular shift, an earth that refuses to remain constant but continues to spin on its axis, rendering x a mutable force. I was a child, an abacus in my hands struggling to count the stars. Jennifer Ley |
