Between Man and Woman
Between young and old
Between and among one's many inner voices

Of the electron in its field of probabilities
Of the Earth among its solar partners
Of the pen across this page

The Dance is the fundamental unit
The atom of the Ancient Greeks
Of which all things are made

And Zorba is Its Prophet --
"Did you say -- Dance!?
Come on, my boy ..."

Author's Note: Zorba "The Greek" was a real person. The author of the book by that name (Nikos Kazantzakis) devoted a whole chapter to Alexis Zorba in his autobiography: "Report to Greco."
