as foolish to think we are free of history as it would be of gravity
History isn’t gravity.
You may be, undeniably,
In it, and you can’t work yourself
Out of it by any effort,
But you’re only in it if it
Notices you, and only if
It hasn’t forgotten you, and
Only where history exists.
Gravity’s got you everywhere,
Even when it’s too faint to feel
With your Earth-evolved equipment,
And gravity forgets nothing.
