support

I wake up this morning to find me hanging in the sky. It has come down and the earth has gone up, now unreachable! It's hanging like the sky used to! It is so far, far away. It seems we had taken out so much from the earth that it had become too light to support human beings. All other living beings have moved up…heard later from one of my friends that she was crying while dropping us off.

Now that we are in the sky, we should be happy. Ah no! Far from it. We can’t walk, because we don’t know how to sailwalk, sailsleep, saileat and sailive, we don’t know how to make cloudcloth, cloudhouse, and cloudbed, and have cloudcrop. There is a lot of learning that needs to be done. New words are coming in, but we are still struggling hard to keep upto the tenses without a ground. We can’t sit, sleep, eat without the feeling of falling off. And guess what...we can’t even do that…simply because of lack of support...we need some support for heaven’s sake…either a wall, or a sofa, or a bed, or the kitchen island, or a ground…here there’s nothing to support, and we are perpetually falling off. Who could have ever imagined that living in the sky could be so painful.

However, the most difficult thing we are facing here is that we are unable to make boundaries. Some intelligent people have even made cloudguns. The easily offendables have not forgotten who offended who, but we can't demarcate them out, keep the likes in, and the unlikes out. How to do that without an out is the question! There is no out! The cloudpoles are of no use because they are just not staying in one place, and we learn that under the sky we have more of sky. We have other serious issues to think of, like what to do when there’s thunder, or lightening, or when there are no cloudcrops…but making boundaries seems to be more important for us at the moment.

It is not the law of gravitation, it is the support we are missing here. We look up with frustration. Those green meadows, rocky mountains, tireless rivers, and the blue blue seas and oceans had supported us all through the years to help us make boundaries, dams, walls, and even procreate. The sky for heavens doesn't support.
