In memory of Johannes Kepler (1571-1630)
By Andrei Dorian Gheorghe
.
.
I once lost my bachelor's degree
in astronomy,
was fired from my normal job,
and could only find another job
as a street sweeper.
.
But then I remembered
Kepler's Second Law
and felt like a lucky man
who unites the Earth and the Sun
through his own feelings,
sweeping up equal spaces
in equal times.
