Einstein was not Greek

Einstein was not Greek

Remember,
today is the day
that balances precariously
between the first
and the last
of your life.

According to Einstein's concept
of "relativity",
you are perfectly free
to consider yourself
the center of the universe,
believe the world is flat
or that the earth is fixed
and the Sun
revolves around it.

It's obvious
about the Sun's path.
I mean,
just look at it.
The flat earth thing
doesn't speak to me.

I look out the window
and I see Tiger Mountain.
I see Mount Baker.
I see Mount Rainier.
I see no flat.
So maybe Einstein was wrong.

As to the center
of the whatchacallit,
You are the center
of my whachacallit.
