39. The Very Art of Physics

What if it's
So much simpler
Than we're told it
is?
What if it's more like
a cool hand against
a warm head, or
a soft kiss when nobody
loves you or the way
Your mother should
look at you even if
she never does
And that feeling
That all things
are aligned and right,
right now,
Because He's set
His ink to paper,
Mapping out your
promise, filling up
Your hope,
And laughing
At all the humans
Who live a lifetime
Telling you otherwise
In their small little bodies,
Their small little minds
They mistakenly
Think are bigger
Because their heads
Are warm, their lips
Are bare, and their mothers
Don't love them
Like the very art
of physics tells
them
They should?
