Measure Speed of Light
?How can i measure the mass
while waiting for time to pass.
Nothing is faster than light.
?Did Einstein get that one right
But, if light goes the wrong way,
physics is a game we play.
Only a philosopher
allows magic to occur.
Only imagination
can exceed perspiration.
Particles do not return
as fast as they leave at Cern.
?So, How can a square root be
faster than eternity.

I Don’t Remember
I lost a big memory
somewhere in eternity.
It is easy to forgive
memory loss where i live.
Most of us are fairly old;
so memory is like gold.
Once it’s lost, it’s gone.
with nothing to blame it on.
How big was it? I forget.
I can’t remember that yet.
I think i know who you are.
so you can’t be very far.
Down in the Alzheimer's wing
they can’t remember anything.

Ultimately Unsatisfied
After my body has died
my conscience will try to hide.
If i can’t find my own id,
it is successfully hid.
Do i really want to know
where my id wanted to go?
Sometimes i think that i do;
wherever i will be with you.
When our souls are together
life will go on forever.
That is the meaning of love;
a push instead of a shove.
If you have love, you will learn
Love is something you must earn.

Smells Like Apple Cider
This day i sat beside her;
also a friendly spider;
The shade was even wider.
Except at meridian
because then it never can.
The sun always seemed to be
shining directly on me.
She was always named Alice;
but not because of malice.
Rotten apples fell on me
from a dying apple tree.
Trees keep dying all the time
just to make the verses rhyme.

What is going to Happen to me.
Whenever we get together
we will talk about the weather.
Or about deterioration.
That is our conversation.
Our age is likely to be
based on our philosophy.
The things which we do find out
can be trivial, no doubt.
We may lose our memory;
so what, and fiddle dee dee.
Whatever we do forget,
we can still remember yet.
We may find out tomorrow
to our eternal sorrow.

Do Squirrels Also Consume
buds before they are in bloom?
Not also, but maybe not;
they do eat blossoms a lot.
Wherever a flower grows,
the smell can go up its nose.
The smell also affects me.
and also attracts a bee.
Whether a bee or a rose,
it can go where the odor goes.
I don’t know what a bee thinks,
It might be an odor which stinks.
If it is on their diet,
squirrels don’t have to buy it.

DoesThursday Have Smell?
Often it is hard to tell
there is a dead rat in the well.
Perhaps it is only me
and i am only sweaty.
I can recognize colors;
black and white amongst others.
But, those are different things
having different songs it sings.
Some days are short, others long.
So, where does Thursday belong?
Nobody has mentioned sound;
but there is lots of it around.
Some features could be erased
including their touch and taste.
