(Higg's bosons, quarks, neutrinos... and another to add to the list...)
Suppose
the ultimate, the tiniest
constituent
of matter
turned
out to be
the
love-particle
which
has no measurable effect
on
anything.
If
we grind the grains ever smaller
perhaps
love will fly
from
its atomic vault
wild
and free
creating
a chain reaction
that
explodes the universe.
And
when angel-astronauts
explore
the cindery remnants
they’ll
wonder
if
in that radiant moment
we
felt it was enough, and heaven
not
worth the waiting for.
