The poem discusses the twin paradox of relativity theory where two twins experience different elapsed times due to one twin traveling at a high speed. The first stanza refers to lessons learned about simultaneity and how different observers can experience events as coinciding or differing. The second stanza provides an example where one twin had breakfast and lunch five hours apart while the traveling twin lost time upon returning to Earth.
