Living in a Centrifuge

by Richard Tornello

Earth,
You, me, and the rest of the inmates herein birthed:

5 Kms on its axis
30 Kms about its star
230 Kms the solar system as a whole
add about another 600 to 640 Kms for the galaxy.
Cumulative, yes it is.

Imagine being in a test tube rotating that fast!

Then imagine what the DNA of any creature must be like.
Think of your test tube again.
Spin spin spin.
And you wonder why weÌre as crazy as we are,
killing each other over
face against the glass
belief in the super-unnatural?
pushed to the edge
Acting in this manner?

I'm gonna puke.
