A paper has thousands of words written on it
Some in bold, while some in brackets

What's written in bold captures the attention of the beholders
While what's written in brackets holds secrets that nobody knows 

It is...

My psychologist said I'm bipolar.  I told him I wouldn't have sex with either a male 
or a female polar bear.

Bipolar?  You gotta be kidding- I've never been to the north or the...

THE ARTICLES

In the field of physics and chemistry
Out of every jot and tittle 
The atom was smallest there could be
It was so very little

But we found a way to split it
Now that we are so...

As quasar mixes the starry dust,
a newly formed planet en route’s a must;
new universes revealed beyond black holes
captivating stories are yet to be told.

Tiny newborn sails saturnian seas,
a Venus flyby in Saggittarius is a breeze;
absolute...

We had to hop the fence to see this Kansas property better.
Initially got cut up by sharp thorns, stickers and brambles 
Fought our way past giant spider webs, wondering about snakes.
Oak trees surrounding the property...

Santa’s elves do love a Christmas sing-a-long,
you can bet Santa’s will never go wrong.
There’s cookies, cakes, pies, punch and hot cocoa
with cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger spice, you know.

When playing the organ Mrs. Claus is a...

The merry widow’s marvelous mincemeat melody
Was gradually heard around three by the old oak tree
Honestly said Bert, the bumblebee, is this the Grand Prix?
Miraculously, there was a royal red revelry

A chickadee landed on the right...

You still remember how the sweetness of my heart made it cheaper
Maybe you didn't deserve any better

Baby now you're looking so thin
So let me feed you with a spoon
I have jelly and peanut butter
Let me...

Stop That and Get Back Here were taking a nice walk.
Don’t Poop There and Hey Stupid came up to have a talk.
Their owners were inside, sleeping in on this Saturday.
So they chased bunnies and squirrels,...

It began with a replicator
probably in the sea
an insignificant little cray-tor
much tinier than a bee
Didn't have mouth or teeth
or a fancy Latin name
not even a will to out-compete
others exactly the same
But nought is really perfect
mistakes...

I am a little elf
Tinier than a mouse
I live in a bluebell forest
In a mushroom house

I don’t have a lot of money
If I did that would be cool
I could upgrade my living quarters
Into a top...

Empty.
That’s all I feel.
I wanna scream,
I wanna cry,
I wanna feel.
But I can’t.
I feel so drained.
I feel like crying.
I feel like screaming.
But I just can’t.
I’m losing my one reason for living.
I wrote him a letter.
Those might...

Pith is pithier than pithy
-it’s not a question of if.
You know atoms are tiny
when you get at ‘em.
Sometimes they’re the point.
Meanings have layers
like lasagna.
Two or three should suffice.
Any more is a little less nice.
Less is...

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...

Through the shadow I emerged
Far from the farthest I peeped
from gate to gate
from door to door
I saw a land
A green land
A strange land.

Aloof I stood
With sword dangling and clattering.
A war or a battle, I watched.

Slightly dizzy and in awe 
feeling connected 
to some obscure and forgotten god 
engineered by my pen 
almost as a necessity  
to explain the unknown
feelings that lay beneath 

I look outside 
all that I...

They are tinier than fawns, the deer said to his friend, Lou.
Their thick tails are longer, and they have strange coughs too.
They have strange hoofs, and when excited they howl a bit.
Good grief! They are...

No more babies to make.
We're all done my wife says.
Get the scissors.
We have 3 of our own
All under 5,
4 total.
Why look so nostalgic towards babies 
Tinier than my 11 month old?
The kid's truck-sized,
Like wielding slabs...
