theory of everything

theoretical physicists are
closing in on the theory
of everything

which will reveal
the answers to
all manner of things

from the complex trajectories
of tachyons and muons
to who actually shot Kennedy
to the exact color of
the next car you will buy.

so it's only
a matter of time
before it will be shown
that my love
for you was a
major part of the
grand scheme of things

and you leaving
me was nothing more
than just a cosmic
aberration.
