(I am not a science student.. I never studied what Einstein propounded, but i have always dated guys who were hard core engineers or science FREAKS!.. So just felt like naming this poem Theory of Relativity.. no offence to Einstein... I Love his hair!)Cobainess’ Theory of Relativity
Perfect for you,
May not be perfect for me.
Perfection is relative you see.
It’s like beauty.
We all are most definitely beautiful,
But your beauty may appeal to one
And mine to another.
It’s like freedom.
It’s a mind game.
You may feel constricted while flying in the skies.
I may feel free in a dark prison cell.
It’s like paradise.
You may feel like you’re in hell albeit being surrounded by angels,
being surrounded by the divine strength,
I may feel paradise in a crowd that is cursing and abusing,
the earth that I walk on may be paradise for me.
It’s like happiness,
Or sadness,
You may be unhappy with all the money in the world,
with the biggest mansion to live in,
with a gamut cars and everything marked as a “brand”.
I may be absolutely happy, with a hole in my pocket,
Walking on the beach just with someone to hold my hand.
So perfection too is absolutely relative...
Perfect for you,
May not be perfect for me.
Perfection is relative you see.

Cobainess' Theory of Relativity - A Critical Appraisal by Crazy Boy Bhagat
Language for me is a generator, and so is form. The poem uses a very direct and "in-your-face" progression, which does not leave any room for interpretation, nor does it induce the reader to apply his mind.
However, what the poem lacks in abstraction, it makes up in its simplicity. I've never seen a simpler yet more precise explanation of the theory of relativity. Even Einstien with his "Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute" could not have put it in clearer and simpler terms.The metaphors used to describe relativity reflect the inner state of mind of the writer and the reader can totally understand the writer's innermost feelings.
The identity of words in the first and last paragraph of the poem sends a surge of euphoria rushing through the reader's mind, giving an overall satisfaction and a desire to read the poem yet again.
Overall a simple and interesting piece of art.:) Keep it up!!
