Wendy Watson Poet Rhyme

It's a Small World

In our realm an ant would be gigantic,
A grain of sand, a monolith in size,
One teardrop seem as vast as the Atlantic
And blades of grass appear to reach the skies.

Our tiny quantum world is subatomic
Though physicists would say we make a mark,
We permeate in numbers astronomic
Yet I am but a nanoscopic quark. *




* Quarks are elementary particles of matter that are smaller than protons or neutrons. They are the smallest particles we have come across in our scientific endeavours.
