Cold Morning Physics
Frozen windshield greets the day.
Scraper posed.
Long arm of the law …
that is the work-arm of the law of physics!
Leverage, torque,
the length determines the force!
Formulas cavorting in my head,
while trying to calculate
the most efficient angle
to apply pressure.
High pitched screech
of plastic on glass,
as the blade attacks its foe.
Progress at hand,
visibility clears.
The science of the universe
follows us throughout our lives.
Some may refute it,
or be oblivious to it,
but the laws are always applied.
Matter, energy, motion …
all in observance.
The task endures.
