Electrons circle
protons, neutrons
of an atom’s nucleus.
Radio signal, steady
beeps fade out, long
distance voyager.
People talk as their
electric and magnetic
fields converge.
Atoms bond together,
make molecules that
form everything.
Lone dog left
in a cage wonders
what he did wrong.
Biosphere clings
to lithosphere’s roll
round an elliptical.
