It certainly disappoints me the least.

While reading this I got the image of Einstein sticking his tongue out in my head.

I guess that's not really an observation on the poem, just a random thought I felt like sharing.

Okay, so generally, I adore such references, really. And granted, this does have a certain charm. But as a piece of poetry? It's rather sub-par; I mean, it's really just catalogue and expansion, catalogue and expansion, without any deliberate syntactic implication. Gah.

Enough whining; every single other poem I've seen posted thus far though, two thumbs up. Lovelovelove : )

I agree. :/ The mass of a moving body/Exceeds its mass/When standing still. is witty and may delight the brain at first glance but it's hardly musical, it's not even a strong image, it's hardly poetry. Not too much of a fan of this one although I guess it's original. I have to agree that all the poems I've read here are gorgeous.
