Beta the decay yet kinetic in time
Clue be given to you in this rhyme
Diameter in mass and vector
East north and west with South in chime
Fox and the hound led not the blind
Global position Sovereign in the rewind
Headquarters DMZ
Say I Ram in the wind
One before the why
Neutrinos dance, the tenet
Encoded gem I
Hopi hydrogen
Unified twins, Gemini
Numbers, count by staff
Divided even
Release the energy chi
Equal scales by 2
Decide upon one
Y photon will equal c
Energy Ion
Arc flight of eagle
Ram or goat the choice be I
S- Martics be arc
Oscillate on thoughts
Fermions amount to sum
Quantum quarks made you
Unified field net
Alpha the numeric n
N number alpha
Tau weight equals au be you
Unit be star Q
Mass measured by staff
Set started on go
Catapult be to the stars
Independent Star
Electrons are a
New negative light of one
Cascade reason why
Elect charm at end
2 by way of the release
Infinity roar
Now finite beyond
For I am born one with sun
It’s all inside you
None but bold be the one Thoth
Inside the fire be one
Together be the ocean
Yet the ocean be drop too

Space
between
stars is not
empty at all.
But vast quantities
of neutrinos, atoms,
molecules and dark matter
with photons from radiation
ranging wide from highest energy
to low grade cosmic microwave background.
Bubbling plasma in interstellar space
contains charged particles all over
embowered by soft cosmic glow.
Space between stars increasing
as stars receding far
from one another .
Universe on
expansion
to run
on.
The man in the moon met the children of the sun
The stars grouped together and twinkled as one
The planets applauded as a comet flashed by
An astral reunion that lit up the sky
A nebula formed with hydrogen gases
Dancing neutrinos entertained the masses
The asteroids clashed when Venus came to call
A black hole appeared and enveloped them all
Hearing every raindrop
Feeling every grain of sand
Uniqueness of each snowflake
Counting every hair-like strand
The infinity of heaven
And the stars that soar within
Or eight billion human faces
Wearing resources to thin
What of all the tiny protons
Whizzing all round..
Electrons and neutrinos
Do their thing without a sound.
Overwhelming are the numbers
Or infinitesimal, it seems
Far more awesome than the presence
Is the silence inbetween.
Dark matter say the scientists
I know the opposite is true..
It's the dancing light between us
That's connecting me to you.
We Bleed Out
By Sy Roth
Unbroken string of invective--
The world deserves it.
It blurs our memories.
No need to sing its praises
When it undoes us,
Unties the laces that bind us
And drops us off at a station
Where work make us free
Without a ticket.
SSN and its variables cling to us
And we blend into a miniscule world
Where the spectacles on the hill of ash
Watch us
Follow us with its empty eyes
As we bump along its hillocks
And care only about the MPGs
And not where it is taking us.
We simply cover the miles until we run out of gas.
Can’t parley with the atoms that collide into us.
Neutrinos, faster than light,
Zip by without respite
And we fail to see it,
Just sense it,
A theoretical maze that confounds.
All those particles that slice through
And we do not know that we have been cut
By a thousand blades
Until we bleed out
Soulless
And nourish the ground.

IF YOU PULL A LONG FACE : Part XXXVI
IF you pull a long-famished face
Chances are you'd pull derisive looks your way
Some might relent Others spite your face
For not pulling your weight in every way
If you pull a long symbolic face
Your words no meaning profound convey
Mallarmé's ill-armed ideas make poems fall on face
Try E = mc2 : Poem = idea + words2 to force poiea
If you pull a long straight face
The contradiction might show through the gap in the veil
Sure as Rita Hayworth " put the blame " on Orson Welles
If you're not sure of the signs in poems you use in braille
If you yet pull a long-forsaken face
Stymied by photons neutrinos criss-crossed by Cosmic Ray
Stop wondering what happened to meaning words efface
Just listen to rhythmic rhymes in the musical phrase at play
So if you must pull that long-mutated face
With time won't ideas coalesce words into Shakespearean play
At will stream out of computer softwares at mind-boggling pace
Leave neither poet nor poetaster critic nor customer with pay

you ...
redeemed me
from the belly of a star
ripped me ragged from a
hydrogen-helium core
spinning, divergent, toward sentience
from solitude ... howling
I did not ask for that existence
the blasted, bloody boon of banality
but it was mine, nonetheless
(now ... madness)
we merged -
a flailing vortex of cosmic clusters in entropy
prolific and sensually insane
indelibly charged in
our dynamism
transformed in a maelstrom
of wild wonder and molten mania
a cacophony of
carnal chaos and hunger
fused, like the heavy elements
we are radiated gravitons ...
the light-devouring
attraction of black oblivion
the imbalance of ions at constant -
a non-baryonic notionality
vagrant, erratic neutrinos unbound
we are ...
dark matter …
us.

the ether is alive with oscillations
pulsations and electric frequencies
satellite and shortwave intonations
invisible, yet carried on the breeze
neutrinos and photonic modulations
infrared and x-rays, promptly spun
ultraviolet streams and applications
gamma rays and ions from the sun
ozone filled with radio transmission
microwaves pass thru us constantly
the residues of past nuclear fission
all that we have yet perceived to "be"
I've always had an issue with believing
the paranormal "ghosts" phenomenon
yet, with all the atmosphere's receiving
who am I to say what's here ... or gone?

The elemental alchemy
Of universal spirits and space
The protons and neutrinos
And the quarks and dark matter material
Combined with transformation
And transcendent manifestations
Add up to the ingredients of universal natural creation
Created out of energy from the source called light
We start of as caterpillar's
Then become beautiful butterflies
But this simply won't happen
Unless we try harder to evolve
And to this we must learn to become spiritually resolved.
I hear a hum of the vibration
Of the quantum universal song
I hear the higher frequencies
And I sit mindful and sing along
I envisage neutrinos, quarks, and atoms
Bouncing and dancing around
Manifesting tunes to these cosmic sounds
I absorb my being into the dark matter
The constraints of our universal dreams
Structured in our conscious mind
For eyes that choose to see
I conduct a symphony of movement
Between the stars and galaxies
Orchestrating a crescendo interplanetary
Everything that surrounds us
Vibrates at higher frequencies
In wave form it was over us in love and light tendencies
So stare up at stars and the night sky
And listen for its music
The hum of the vibrations essential and intrinsic.
I fell headlong down a wormhole
Though laying in my bed
I saw quasars and quarks spinning above my head
And atoms racing neutrinos then colliding
Just then I banged my head
Spun head over heels
Yet still descended
Then I witnessed kaleidoscopic seas
And dolphins leaping from the waves
And birds in assorted colours flying in a circus like parade
Then everything went dark
And I thought this all just in my mind
Before a supernova explosion happened before my eyes
And in a riot of rainbow light
And vision incandescent and bright
Took me on a race through time as well as cosmic space
In and out of dimensions and galaxies unknown
Then I had the feeling that I was being blown
At a thousand miles an hour
And my head was now in a spin
And woke up in my bed left wondering
How did that all begin.
Deep within our mental state
Deep within that quantum place
That manifests in energy
Particulate piece by piece
In quarks we dream
In neutrinos we speed
In atoms we bounce and collide
In waves waves we role in brilliant light
Deep down inside
Where we live infinite lives
Time after time
Living out quantum revelries
In cosmic spirituality
Deep within conscious reality
Where we cast away banality
To sail the universe fantastically
On hopes and dreams astrally
No past, no future
Just presently in each and every moment
Of a quantum conscious dream.
Drifting in the vacuum, I see a sun rising
Pulled inexorably towards the event horizon
Infinity condenses into a single quark
Lighting the universe bathed in the dark
I see the charm of its strange, beautiful truth
Came up from the bottom; like a galactic baby tooth
The super symmetry of fundamental force
Has set us on an interminable course
The quantum mechanic can not fix our car
Because our neutrinos all have zero charge
So I guess we will hitchhike to the next star cluster
Led by a supernova and all its luster
