From the Stages of Grief, In No Particular Order
Fuck Stephen Hawking
A Poem
What about that guy?
You know!
That astrophysicist guy?
That Brief History of Time guy.
The guy in the wheelchair,
With the computerized voice?
I saw him on TV!
He was on that Star Trek episode,
Remember?
I heard that guy lived — what? —
Like 50 years after he was diagnosed!
He got rich and famous.
He got married, had kids, had an affair.
All while doing groundbreaking work in theoretical science.
Yeah! That’s It!
Stephen Hawking.
Be like Stephen!
