Electrocyst

some electrons have been here
since the beginning of time
electrons prove their reality
by making "Big Bang Theory" intelligible
by turning a subatomic nebula
into Sheldon Cooper's face
locked in Hare Krishna trance
living room of decadence
sinking into deep abyss
as our skill in physics soars

Nice poem. But I'm wondering if our skill in physics is only fancy math that is getting us nowhere. Fine and funny imagery.

Thank you so much David, technology seems like a Frankensteinian monster sometimes, taking us to a future that is beyond our control. On the other hand, some quarters believe it may solve our problems. The moral of this silly poem is the old idea (from 1960!) that TV turns us into zombies.
