FORMULAH FORMULEII
audio version mp3
The Hawking formula for
everything
Is set against the
sprawling vista of the
Night sky, which we once
mistook for
The Heavens, unnumbered
and
Incalculable, smeared
with angel dust
And viewed thru the
unclean windshield
Of history as a road
hazard, but no longer
Subject to our being
burned at the stake
For saying something off
handed about it
To the pious and
astronomically righteous.
Yes, the formula for everything includes
All the white light you
can soak up,
No matter how often you
refract it or
Reflect on mental
mirrors of perfect
Numbers and perfect
lenses ground
By eye of Newton bent on
alchemy.
Once fractured - always
a fractoid -
Shattered shadoobie,
because the
Hawking fraction
contains an S which
Reassembles all we can
apprehend.
The other side of the equation is us
And all the physical
attributes of us
Distilled to a few
letters which further
Include light-cubed, a
cubicle of light
Burning late into the
night, a fraction
Of what it costs to get
thru that night of
Light, which when
compared to midnight
Oil can only be measured
in blood and
Spent lives plus the
notion that blood
Will pay for everything
in this formula….
May even, pay for the
cosmic nimbus
Of godless eternities it took to make us.
Yes dear Hawking, we
believe you.
SIGMA IS what it all
adds up to,
The long division, the
short division
And the tall, especially
when spoken
Like a Pakistani cab
driver over a bad PA.
A totally tubular, no
make that a totally
U-tubular tensor
shearing experience:
Both sides of the
equation Symmetrical.
