Reading poetry to my boyfriend

There’s more space than mass

I suppose the wind likes that ratio

Otherwise it wouldn’t move

…

There’s more space than mass?

Well, you need to have an inertia balance

Hang on… let me…

Mass always stays the same

Weight changes relative to gravity.

If we had this conversation on the moon, it would be different.

…

There’s more space than mass

Even if we had this conversation

on the moon

…

There’s more space than mass?

If you look at it inside the quadrant of this room

It either has mass or it doesn’t have mass

So what you’re saying

The room is filled with…

If the room was 50 percent full …

Filling equal areas of this room

Well since space doesn’t have mass

Then space is mass-less

So what you’re really saying is

There’s more space than objects that have mass.

There’s more space than objects that have mass.

The space around it doesn’t have mass to compare it to

What you can say is that that lamp has more mass than my motorbike helmet.
