EINSTEIN’S T-SHIRT
She said she’d bought it at a yard sale,
that crazy lady with Einstein’s equation about mass and velocity
on a T-shirt over her big mama breasts:
as my heart’s speed neared the speed of my eyes,
at that singularity
my heart’s weight
was great without bound.

- Comment from author about the poem: I wrote this poem for a woman I met in a poetry class, about 30 years ago. She was indeed wearing that T-shirt rather spectacularly.

Haha .. too bad it had to be a singularity. Have a happy new year.
I used the word singularity in its cosmological sense, but she was indeed a singularity. She had an unusual name. I found a poet by that name on Facebook, but not sure it's the same person, so I sent her a friend request just now.
Algebra is a bear to set in type. I don't remember how I did that one, about 30 years ago.
A fine write Robert.
Einstein, though wise, had some odd ideas of some things. Then the saying: 'Great men/women are not always wise'.
Einstein's ideas are still being worked out, like his relationship to quantum mechanics. The equations about mass and velocity are of course some of his major contributions.
