The poem left me feeling very ti.red and I sat pondering why
I reread it several times and I realize it describes my life too closely and I don't ever want to have to face another upheaval. I am just tired. Three marriages and so many moves. My life here is so perfect let it be the last.

I like the poem! And I missed your previous post with that "How long is a string' business yesterday...

Here's my answer:

How long is a string?

 

We have Professor Planck

To thank

Who said that any string must be

Longer than m 10 - 33

....

I’m still basking in the answer to “how long is a piece of string” and your description of it as being “elegant in its own WTF way”….. LOL

That wise poem reminded me how the day after the break-up of my marriage, I looked up at the sky and thought: 'Well, the sun's still shining!'
