Here's one of my favorites, from John Updike.<BR/><BR/>Neutrinos: they are very small<BR/>They have no charge; they have no mass;<BR/>they do not interact at all.<BR/>The Earth is just a silly ball<BR/>to them, through which they simply pass<BR/>like dustmaids down a drafty hall<BR/>or photons through a sheet of glass.<BR/>They snub the most exquisite gas,<BR/>ignore the most substantial wall,<BR/>cold shoulder steel and sounding brass,<BR/>insult the stallion in his stall,<BR/>and, scorning barriers of class,<BR/>infiltrate you and me. Like tall<BR/>and painless guillotines they fall<BR/>down through our heads into the grass.<BR/>At night, they enter at Nepal<BR/>and pierce the lover and his lass<BR/>from underneath the bed. You call<BR/>it wonderful; I call it crass.Com$tockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07758127726424789899noreply@blogger.com
