Tiny Flaws

Tiny Flaws?
I’d bet dollars to donuts mine’s smaller than yours (am I still on the subject of flaws?) “Not my Quark!” though sharp eyes of beholder’s perceptions may spark an outpouring of “magical mystery tours!” Are you getting my drift (do you see where I’ve been, can you guess where I’m headed? My muse is on track; though its rails may toast “quantum of solace” (for lack of great metaphor). Physicists spin less toward sin? Do more ‘Charmed’ quarks get ‘hadrons’ when coupling with qu*er (same as ‘Strange?’) And if ‘Up’ mates with ‘Down’ is it clear who’s more ‘Bottom,’ on ‘Top?’ “Oh my God, I can’t stop!” So much charge in their depths, they must ‘preon’ or pop! Dad was sad (but I’m glad) I did not spawn a child to bring other souls pain (if a flaw one more mild?) Still, men sin till they die! Grace through Christ? Still, we lie! Let me lay my misdeeds at Christ’s feet with a sigh! Brian Johnston 26th of November in 2022
