A PARTICLE MINUTE
Somewhere in the bloodstream

It's enough for a painful deportation
when protons embrace, match force,
and, like lovers, lock in a death
spiral for its duration on skates.
They decay brilliantly—through divorce—
exposing curves of cold breath
on light-sensative glass plates.
But for those who prefer less expedient
passions, this minute's hardly sufficient.
