Ode to Einstein

Einstein, where's your relativity?
when the spacecraft has surpassed the forces of gravity
gone into hyperspace, travelling past photons
and has been sucked into a black hole
Einstein, where's your formulae?
when it enters into anti-matter
the great big drain hole in the sky
and light can't even scatter
Einstein, where's your energy?
that cannot be created or destroyed
and the spacecraft re-emerges
over the silhouette of the wooden horse at Troy
Einstein, where's your mass?
that has got so great and dense
that eventually
the spacecraft disappears up your own ass
Einstein, where's your speed of light squared?
when man cannot exceed on fossil fuels
snail travel in space
satellite exploration is therefore preferred
Einstein, is that you after all?
now that i have passed this veil of tears
in time not even measured in light years
by thought instead, how the universe is so small

) came over you? I do like your space poems. That vast unknown out there seems to bring out the best in you.
