BARCELONA SCIENCE MUSEUM
From the museum cafe, we see the giant sundial spread outside in Spanish sun -- copper inlays
sparkle in black marble.
You run out through the door, pause for a moment: in your cute red dress, my ten-year-old,
you leap in cartwheels over man-made lines.
In the foyer, a waxy Einstein smiles – he knows, as you do:
tho’ lines are there to keep us sane,
nature isn’t straight
and among other shapes,
time also comes in cones and cubes.
