Einstein (Remove filter)
Albert Einstein
I see one thing,
you see another,
because one thing is always more than itself:
it is itself
plus the relativity of the thing.
It is the mass,
energy,
plus I don’t know how many times the acceleration.

Going Nowhere Fast
At first glance we can safely claim to have it all
An observer would say we had a bright tomorrow
Yet beneath this glimmering facade lies darkness

your lustrous fiddle for the coins strangers drop into your hat?

where the floating Yodas connect like Einstein's cat?
Either way, your art creates its beauty by merely becoming
the eloquent centre of its universe, its mimet...
