A fly ball to right field might not necessarily descend
With necessity in its logical and not merely physical sense
Hence the Braves’ interleague game tomorrow with the Rays
Might be called in the fourth inning on account of anomaly
What nonsense you might cry what brash inattention to universal law
Why would a baseball you might protest behave so perversely
And I would retort that your problem is to consider behavior only and not motive
Nor is the ball in question the only participant in the situation
Note also the earth and its atmosphere and Tampa Bay and this humble scrivening

Gasoline engines operate internally combustionwise
And such two-stroke models as leaf-blowers annoy intensely
It’s what they do
Now no necessity obtains to assign blame in this scenario
Any more than the physical body must necessarily descend
But hear the motorized garden implement’s hum this very moment
More whine than hum more screech than whine
Its distance and hence the attenuation of its sonic output
Effecting no assuagement of its offense

You can’t very well complain of the current display of balderdash
When you know the world the manifest emphatic world
To be compounded of precisely such stuff and nonsense
And how we have enjoyed together you and I admit it
The immense ranges of stress and conflict and dishevelment
Punctuated by instances of absurd if delightful coitus
And all the other hectic and significant interactions
From the zany bosons to the erratic galaxies
And all frumious black holes and the fractious microbes between
