Relativity
You think there’s a gap between us
You think we are separate distinct
You think Newton had it right that we collide
and come apart collide
and come apart But
this is Einstein’s world A hundred
years ago he showed how
we all are bound I nudge space
and you
are shifted
You think if you’re high enough
you’re safe You think
when I fall your orbit
is unaltered You think
this poem
is just physics
