I love
Your fascination
Wonder
Respect
And admiration
For
Euler
Bohr
De Broglie
And Einstein
I love
How you thought nothing
Of talking about
These titans of physics
With some random stranger
I love
How talking about these heroes of yours
You couldn’t help but smile
You remind me
Of how I must’ve been
When I first learnt about
The way
Doug Stanhope
And Trey Parker
Have lived
Lives of
Adventure
Courage
Principle
Love
Feeling
And meaning
And have made this world
Better
For having done so
And though
I don’t recall
You cracking any jokes
I think it was
Your sweet affection
For your heroes
And your humble devotion
To your learning
And the respect
You give it
That made me smile
More than I have
In years
