Life Conserved

Michael Matalon 1973 (New York)

Lyric
My movement in this place
is met by particle resistance.

My presence in this space
conveys a symmetrical existence.

Composed of more of nothing
than the mass that is weighed.

The energy is a thing
of that which I am made.

My energy is conserved
within this scope of reality.

This dimension is then curved
to quantify a physical duality.

About this poem

Physics is not just the study of math and science, it is the explanation of life as we know it.
