Laws of (E)Motion

by Maria Terezia Ferencz

that was when
I learned or I should say
remembered
how pain could stretch a minute
taffy like until it lasted much too long
sticky sweet stetching on and on
until it made your stomach hurt
and you wished it to stop

Interesting how (e)motion could alter time
(Even time has a state of uniform motion
tends to remain in that state of motion
unless an external (e)motion is applied to it.)
how joy greedily could eat away at an hour so quickly
piranha like stripping it down to white bare bone
in a second

but sadness can dress that same 60 minutes
(Even time has a state of uniform motion
tends to remain in that state of motion
unless an external (e)motion is applied to it.)
in a gown of black to dwell for days in shadow
crying for the light
the inertia of an entrenched heart


oh yes
force causes only a change in velocity
even the velocity of time (F = ma)

Einstein had nothing on (e)motion
(E)motion would grab his E=MC2
stuff it directly up his butt
where it belonged
back into the psuedo-world of thinking unfeeling idiots
who understood NOTHING
and never would


the speed of what?
a heart on fire
a heart burned to ash
a heart so cold it can no longer feel
a heart no more

yeah whatever
how fast is that anyway?
As quickly as the joy fades, so slowly lingers the pain
(For every (e)motion there is an equal and opposite (e)motion.)

Where are you when I need you Einstein?

wondering to myself why did I change velocity in the first place
If I never knew how short joy was I would not long for more
and the alternative would not last so long

Author's Note: When the protons are forced together, this extra mass is released ... as energy! But when the two are ripped apart Einstein who replaces what was once released and can never be regained. No wonder this theory was proven by something as destructive as the atomic bomb....atomic bomb....broken heart is there really a difference? I wonder.
