Ode To Albert

Mr. Mayor, Ladies, & Gentlemen,

for the German ghost, a hackneyed post

how you’ve posthumously endued!
not only the spectrum of spacetime hues
but our blossoming science of spiritual grace, too

in a materialistic age of transcending faith

and myths grown moot like the crumpled page
liberation from the self 
is an immeasurable wealth

so thanks be to thou, Al
