¶ Tension
Index Entry
The generalized principle of tension
Holds true in all cases
Be the tensed phenomenon a silken cord,
A wrought-iron chain,
Or the invisible gravity cohering
The Earth and Moon
Which rotate synchronously
As they ‘fly twin-spin formation’
Around the Sun
At one thousand miles a minute
Which is four times
The additional acceleration
At which our Christmas Eve
Moon orbiting
Manned capsule
Averagely enroute
Its successful round trip.
