Science

Billions of atoms later…
Despite dark energy,
This is the event horizon.
The orbit’s broken.

An action,
A reaction—
Equal and Opposite.

Motion initiated.
Matter accelerated.
Force maintained.

This page/ink/poem—
Minute masses of attraction—
Attempts to negate
Electrons’ magnetic repulsion.

Very fun and witty. I especially dig the playfulness of the final stanza.

I'm liking this series. I keep wondering where will this go next? Perhaps Ceramics, Woodshop, or...PE?
