Death of an Illusion

Newton's pendulum



Einstein’s space-time, so long

our physics' answer to confusion,

is now, it seems, a doomed illusion,*

like heat, water, air, and more

that we thought fundamental before,

an output of some even greater basic

that unifies the deadly with the quick.

“Ah, hah!” you jeer. “Let’s see 'em make that stick!

The fabric of the universe

is not a medieval curse!

They'll just come up with something worse!"

Alas, I'd note (although it makes me sick),

overlapping waves of probability that bump

are what gave rise to Donald Trump.
