light travels so fast that it doesn’t travel at all
just rewiring the hard-wired head of existing
(in an irreconcilable way)
heavy as gravity
quiet as lice
and hell
well you know
no thing can ever happen at the exact same time as another thing
baby
we can never get close to such a small thing
nor can we grasp the idea of something too large
shit darling
from the event horizon to the singularity of being
a silhouette of nature’s vacuum cleaner
performing a routine evacuation of everything you’ve ever known
just think of it
a projectile’s capacity for selfhood is unsustainable
if the escape velocity for happiness happens
when life’s just a neutron star dreaming of infinite density
or a 2,000 mile man falling feet first
squeezed like a toothpaste tube
whispering about the propagation of light
(the point of no return is a non-event)
my dear
Newton never knew the value of his own constant
and of course
skew lines in more than three dimensions never meet
(even though they’re not parallel)
I’ll tell ya
geodesics on a sphere are great circles
and don’t you ever forget it
high energy means short wave length
low energy means long wave length
by the way
photons don’t tell god what to do
so
fuck it
embrace the universe in a single formula
don’t wait on me to do it for you
you sick son of a bitch
