superconducting supercolliders - the correspondent lyrics
iced+over streets and bas+m+nt doors
below forbidden upper floors
you’d hide beneath the seats to catch
a lecture by niels bohr
for a short time between two wars
you got to fight for what was yours:
colloquia with quantum themes
a friendly physics corps
converting mass and energy
fission knocks electrons free;
uranium as effigy
decaying for eternity
dividing atoms expertly
the chain reactions must proceed
explosions at sea;
lise, you must hate your fate
your legacy was twice erased
your reputation in your field
was growing slowly more concealed
you left berlin in ’38
upon a train, in fear
with correspondence from abroad
in pen, you tore down old facades
you split an atom like a drop
and opened realms of thought
mass times squared velocity
of light defines stored energy
you must get out of germany
because of your identity
doubled f+cking jeopardy;
an empty life is misery
explosions at sea;
lise, let me hate your fate
your legacy was twice erased
you came to hate the things they built
with the uranium they spilt
your contribution was erased
without a hint of guilt
