Someone Is Studying Einstein’s Brain

When the next great

                                        dies

will their emails

be packaged

                        and published

revealing

                        their motivation

                                                        for everything

they ever wrote

enlightening researchers

satisfying curious readers?

There’s more written down

now

        than ever

                        and none of it

is written down.

                             Ten

                                  thousand

elephants

               sway

                            in the breeze.

Blades

            of grass

                               conspire

against

            a dandelion.

An albatross flies five

hundred miles

                              without flapping

migrates

                  pole to pole.

The price

                      of a one hundred

trillion dollar bill.

                                Have you ever

sat next to a

                          campfire

                                                until your shoes

began to melt?

                                And what

of the toes

                                in that case?
