By Andrew Budek-Schmeisser
Lock some geeks into a lab
with tech toys and a purpose,
wait a bit… what do you have?
A scientific circus,
in which the beasts go ’rounds and ’rounds
in their curved-space gravity,
eating spinning massless clowns
(does that smack of depravity?)
who blunder through an endless loop,
each circuit a divergence
separating the coherent group
into chaos and disturbance
from which Einstein’s theory, unified,
crawled out, incomplete, and died.
Andrew Budek-Schmeisser is a writer and poet, author of Blessed Are the Pure of Heart and Emerald Isle. His work can be found at his web site: Blessed Are the Pure of Heart, and many of his sonnets have appeared on the Steve Laube Agency blog.
