Villanelle: What Space Occupies the Tiniest Space

Villanelle : What space occupies the tiniest place

What space occupies the tiniest place
   Today the Higgs Boson’s all the rage
All discoveries via the inward gaze

Yesterday the neutrino led the race
   Even as the atom ancestors did engage
What space occupies the tiniest place

Hydrogen the atom bomb did replace
   Much as MOAB the grenade savage
All discoveries via the inward gaze

The secret of the Golden Flower’s grace
   In the heart of hearts make particles rage
What space occupies the tiniest place

He that seeketh not becomes common place
   All particles whirl and churn the mirage
All discoveries via the inward gaze

Today’s seeming truth : nothing stays in place
   Yet tomorrow all change may mismanage
What space occupies the tiniest place
All discoveries via the inward gaze
