e=
by Carmen H Gray
What shall I write today? I asked
When e= were the two keys my fumbling fingers
Had accidentally pressed into the keyboard
I looked at those symbols
That took up empty space
Energy equals mass
Even when that mass is deathly quiet
The resistance used or wound up tight
Every particle just pushed and changed
Like wood in a pyre
Energy equals you and me
And random thoughts on a blank page
Stars and that tiny piece of glass
That got stuck in your heel
Like sharp words that got
Stuck in your heart
All of it can change and shift
And it shall because
It will
