GR translation: across a clear skirmish-line from the Force

[David Morris]

"She was at his elbow not ten seconds ago. They’d agreed beforehand to
try and keep together. But there are two sorts of movement out here—as
often as the chance displacements of strangers, across a clear
skirmish-line from the Force, will bring together people who’ll remain
that way for a time, in love that can even make the oppression seem a
failure, so too love, here in the street, can be taken centrifugally
apart again: faces seen for the last time here, words spoken idly,
over your shoulder, taking for
granted she’s there, already last words—"

The "Force" pushes (and pulls) people together and apart.  Chance
"displacements" (a scientific term) of people from point A to B.  So,
yes, F=ma works perfectly.  And, it also works for a rocket.
