Dissecting a Speck

Though small its size it offers no resistance, No matter it's diameter at given hour of day. And should division come at your insistence, A speck just gets smaller, never going away. No matter its division, its start it retains, Though diminishing beyond ability to see. A remnant of that speck always remains, If you don't behold it, can it no longer be?

Tom, I really like this poem. It seems like molecular biology or something, or even physics. Great subject matter to Wright about! Moon Harp
