being smart

you wonder what it's like
to be really smart.
physicist smart,
Stephen hawkings smart.
Einstein smart.
to be able to understand
the world on a molecular level.
would there be room in your head
for other things.
the mindless things
that roll around your brain
all day,
pleasurable things.
what would you have to give
up to be that smart?
almost everything
you imagine.
