DOES ANYBODY KNOW

    TOSCANINNI had it
his music filled every sense and then some
he gave all his energy
and received all from all
his musicians 
his listeners
he filled the air
with life
he never withheld a miniscule
his wand waving
tell all
feel
do not close your ears
do not close your heart
hear
this is the way it should be played
this is the way it should be heard
this is the way it should be
and this is the way it is
PICASSO had it
simplicity in the line
one line
one movement
alive
evoking
touching
telling
you feel with your eyes
what you see reaches
the innermost point
the place hidden
the place
the ephemeral
the lasting
the visceral
blink
and it moves
blink
and you are there
blink
and he knows you
he knows what you feel
what you are
and he tells
in no uncertain terms
what we
could not verbalized
he
in the one motion
one line
a simple flick of the wrist
it is all there
the real
the imagined
the dreamed
the thought
the wish
the truth
EINSTEIN had it
the man of numbers
with the sense of humor
afraid not of looking foolish
the numbers king
maping the universe
guides are still travelling
unravelling
traversing
trying reversing
numbers
the finite
the infinite
formula
algorithm
layers
strings
the meaning of all things
relative
related
we did not speak his language
not most of us
scientists told us
of his brilliance
of his accuracy
of his history
the mapping of the universe
as we do not know it
but as it is
as he says it is
an as his last gift to us
as he lingered to life
he left us notes
to play
at our liesure
to hear what he had to say
when someone
finally
can speak his language
to tell us what he had to say
