Daily writing prompt
If you could meet a historical figure, who would it be and why?

I would love to meet
Einstein.

I think meeting a genius
would be humbling,
like seeing a band live
finally, and realizing that

they are just a band.

In the same way,
that Einstein is
just a man.

So much so that they
split his brain in two,
and noticed some strange
things. Including merged
together parts.

But it’s probably not true,
because Einstein was just a man.

And that’s why I’d like to meet him
if only to watch him fiddle around
and sit on a park bench
and sigh like everybody else.
