the world cannot bear the weightlessness of sparrows

the world cannot bear the weightlessness of sparrows

or the confetti of our illegible addresses

the moon’s breathless ascent

the world cannot bear it

so the world makes heavy things

like airplanes

and skyscrapers

like your heart

and heavy things fall down

because the world cannot bear them either

-- "heavy things" by denver butson

Haha, yes, that's where I got it. I saw it and was like sldfmnsdofmsiofjsdmfsiodmfsiodmfsd. It's amazing.

Lots of the quotes on there were pretty good until it all dissolved into a huge bumsex!harry party.
