Cyclononane

A nonet of carbon atoms
dances around its nonexistent
center, morphing into an infinite
series of noncoplanar nonagons, a nonconformist 
to aromatic laws. It fidgets
with its configurations, a noncooperative
cluster of nonuplets crowding electron clouds, agonizing
into nondescript structures
with nonsense names.
