Einstein’s Happiest Moment
Einstein’s Happiest Moment
by R. Berlin
Einstein’s happiest moment
occurred when he realized
a falling man falling
beside a falling apple
could also be described
as an apple and a man at rest
while the world falls around them.
And my happiest moment
occurred when I realized
you were falling for me,
right down to the core, and the rest,
relatively speaking, has flown past
faster than the speed of light.
Witty, succinct, perfectly parallel. I like “right down to the core,” and the last line’s exceeding even Einstein’s expectations. Photo on point.
