Nano
Everyman man wants her
spending all of their earned worth
to build her monuments
to out do and out perform
each other
Everyman has dreamed of her
wrote plays and stories
Everyman has died for her
devoted scientific experiences
looking for her
Like Prince Charming
a life searching and seeking
and wandering life's path
Nano is coy
and small
one billionth of dark light
Nano sites in a corner
riding a train on the Milky Way Corridor
But everyman does not see her
They are blind to her presence and place
Everyman looks everywhere
Everyman thinks every thought
Everyman belies her myth
But everyman does not go inside
the box
Unlike Pandora's box
Nano is inviting
sits and waits
to be discovered
