Notes About The Poem

particles

Einstein was right
time is like a relative 
you don’t like.
 
I planted a potato
certain it’s tree 
would shade me eventually
 
I chained myself
to the opinion of others
then misplaced the key
 
I armored myself
to avoid love’s pain 
and rusted in solitude
.
.
A song for this:
Sacrifice by The Weeknd
French Navy by Camera Obscura

Charming piece, Pixie. Insights no less extraordinary than your strident journey to physician land. Cosmetic surgeon perhaps? Maintainer of the stars???
