I thought about that beautiful equation.

I thought about all the minds behind that equation.

about all the love inside that equation.   all the hope.

I had a poem come to me in the shower.   it was wet.

I recited it to myself.   don’t stop, don’t stop.

many a poem lost in the palm of my hand.
 
 
is this what gravity feels like?   recite.

is this what magnets do?   recite.

is this what connection is?   recite.
 
 
ahh there, paper and a pen.
