Playing Dice with Einstein

 

It is black in this spinning tin shack

On the edge of an empty forever,

Till you flip the light switch

And click on a star.

Under its rays, I see your frizzy hair blowing

In the solar winds,

And superstrings dangling

From your fraying cuffs.

“E=MC, you square,” you say to me.

“Whatever, math man,” I reply,

“Just roll the dice.”

You take hold of a supernova

And toss it.

We wait to see if it will land

Right side up.
