Einstein Thinking

[QuietAstronomer]

You touch a part of me
thought to be long dead.
I feel things now that should
not be in my head.
~~~
Alone I wandered through the
night with no concern.
Now I dream of you and feel
a sudden burn.
~~~
Is there a rationale to this
new sensate condition?
Or am I prone to succumb
to any seduction?
~~~
I sit and ponder these
complexities of life.
Is this how Einstein sliced
with his butter knife?

Nice to see you here QA! I like the line "Is there any rationale..." Makes me think if there's any rationale to alot of things we do. Great closing verse,too. I'm imagining him confounded by the complexities of life while he butters his toast. Made me laugh quietly to myself.

Thanks MF! Appreciate that the piece entertained you.

It would be interesting if the piece carried more in the direction of the last line here.

I'd like to see more turmoil.

Good final stanza. I could say shorten the piece and get to the punchline, but 4 stanzas feels right to me. I do think stanzas 2 and 3 can be better.
