Field guide No. 118

Also possible, also breaking physics
Pebbles return to the skyPostboxes don’t launch stones and stones don’t climb. Gravity objects; logic doesn’t.
Air dryPegs and lines are dependable. Clouds, unfortunately, are not something you can grip.
Gravity has left the roomEggs fall, as a rule. This one is merely ignoring the rule, which is physics’ affair.
A featherweight decisionAnvils do not float. Tying one down is sensible; the floating is physics’ oversight.
