The day Isaac Asimov died
I knew that my childhood had passed
the friends in the books I'd amassed
would nevermore speak. Horrified,
I went to the school I'd just left
the day Isaac Asimov died
straight into the staffroom; bereft
my teacher and I sat and cried
No, physics does not teach us pride
and death is a gap we must cross
the day Isaac Asimov died
the universe wept at the loss
Despair is a relative thing
as everything is, it's implied,
but time started unraveling
the day Isaac Asimov died.

It could be worse
