Idols Of Einstein
It took the air straight out of my body
The way a bomb would suck the lungs out of an organism in a cave
But don’t get me wrong, it’s a strange way to explain
You need not say, for I am well aware
Like a victim of a car crash in ICU
The night before his wedding
Who never got the chance to know if what he felt was true
There are choices we never get to take back
To whom it may concern
I hope you knew I gave you everything I could
I hope, at very least, you get what you deserve
A brick fell from the sky yesterday
There were men in hardhats and men with strobe lights on their van
But, not even the idols of Einstein could have pinned down
The placement of a chalk-outline on the ground
If I could experience life outside of my body
Would I still miss the things I can’t presently hold on to
Or would I finally feel freedom from the prison
Of my perfect, watertight skin
