Dark Matter.
You know...
The physics phudge phactor
Conveniently used (by scientists)
When things in the universe
Don’t add up.
I wonder if I could use
Dark Matter
When things in MY universe
Don’t add up?
Like...
I’ve been trying for a while
To reconcile
My checkbook...
“Dark Matter -$5.39”
There!
Now it adds up!
I step onto the bathroom scale.
“Cookies + ice cream cone + barbecue...
Doesn’t add up to THAT much!
Must be Dark Matter-
The ethereal material
Is weighing me down.”
I pull in too close
To the right-hand garage wall.
Again.
My husband says,
“Your visual perception is out of whack.”
“No.” I say, “It’s Dark Matter.”
“It distorts garage gravity, you know.”
Ahh...
I think I’m catching on
To this fudge factor thing.
Just wait ‘till you see
How I use Dark Energy!

Now now, do you really think it's o.k. to use the intellect and training of the greatest minds on earth to justify your own appalling behaviour? If you can get away with it I reckon it makes you smarter than all of them.
I reckon it's great how little we know about what's really out there. Very exciting.
I'll be darned, that college astronomy course actually has practical application after all -- who've thunk it! :-)
I mean, who'd have thunk it. Sorry for the grammatical error. :-)(
lol! I love this! I've always been a closet physicist. Well, sort of. Maybe I just don't want to admit that I'm an artist, except that it's widely known. :) We all have our dark matter, tucked away, somewhere, I think...
I'm liking your blog!
