IF EINSTEIN IS RIGHT
if Einstein is right
and spacetime is a thing
man then is flesh and mass
bones crisscrossing space
and a soul traversing time
a spirit on a journey
out in search of paradise
supposedly on a guided tour
mapped in moments
collecting souvenirs, chains and things
precious with traces of precious time
laced with figments of dear places
all while dodging the devil
n’ till the casket drops
as conservation laws apply;
turning dust to dust
time endures
and perhaps, maybe too
does his soul
