Irreducible

Irreducible

What is it
that we can say is
irreducible..?
This has been 
science's quest over
the centuries:
to locate the illusive
irreducible..

Atoms in ancient times
seemed irreducible 
followed eventually by
electrons..protons..quarks..
You know these names..
Names of matter 
tinier and tinier..
irreducible

And the end 
is not in sight for
searching in matter
for that which is
tinier
tiniest
irreducible..

It appears 
we await a new day.. 
Perhaps soon 
for recognition
that our focus
need be reversed:
inside not outside
is a non-location
infinite and
irreducible...
