Was also going over the pendulum science. Hmm. I thought by qualifying it as "this pendulum", it became the speaker and didn't necessarily need to adhere to pure physics as closely as the lesser pendulums.
Since both a wobbly individual and an oscillating pendulum
are not at ‘Equilibrium,’ I feel that employing the antithesis
of your title would be more appropriate. Something like
‘Imbalance’ or ‘Seeking Equilibrium’ might work. A title
of this nature could serve to co-join the two stanzas as well.
Additionally, a pendulum does not swing ‘indefinitely’
when displaced. It will traverse back and forth across
the equilibrium position with diminishing amplitude
until the restoring force of gravity brings the bob to rest.
Some scientific fodder to masticate that may help sort
out the poem. See what you think.
I want to know who the you is?/Chris
Good to be reminded that the details can't be airbrushed over. Paul
