Falling through space

Fall through space, through vaccum
You travel through the solar system and enter the Earth's atmosphere
You enter the atmosphere and
Rending all the atmospheric layers
The ionosphehre
then the thermosphere
then the troposphere
then the stratosphere
there's a lonersphere sandiwched there as well
fall through blue skies
towards tumors of white
tumors that soon take semblance to clouds.
And you fall through a chasm of cotton
you fall through a dream
towards your approaching doom
Between the sky and earth it's not a long distance -
soon you stare into the earth
and see centuries of geology waiting to shatter your bones
wish the laws of physics were a bit liberal to those wafting through space
It indeed is a return to reality
for when you burst like a bag
your skeleton want to scatter themselves around the nation falling as sphagetti ribbons
but the skin holds it back
perhaps there is no free will
even at the last instant of your
there is none at all.
