Stephen Hawking Talking

I heard Stephen Hawking talking

to a mirror on the wall

about dust-dance-chaos in tornadoes

and wheelchair wheelies at the mall


I heard Stephen Hawking talking

to Rip Vanwinkle on a plane

about a theory he’s been stalking

around the surface of his brain


I saw Stephen Hawking talking

to dark shadows in the rain

about bending atoms in the Balkans

and mending Jacob Marley’s chain


If you haven’t had a chance yet, please check out my book, My Paper, My Words: Rantings from a Progressive Boomer and Peeved Parent, from Amazon. And if you feel moved to write a review of the book, on Amazon, or anywhere else, I’d be honored.

My Paper, My Words is a collection of essays, stories, and poems reflect the challenges of a middle-class husband and father trying to navigate a rapidly changing political, religious, and technological landscape of post-911 America.
