big bang

by Mary Frances Spencer

opposites attracting
positron seeks
electron

cosmos
hungry and magnetic
spin galaxy love
radiant star spiders
ravenously
devouring each other
in fiery webs

hanging in sparkling shreds
particles
from the edges
magnetic black holes
swirling deadly
mysterious
galaxies
against tangible desire
wonder

so antimatter
crashes
collides
with flashing speed

into
matter
tremendous forces
unleash
the fiery

annihilation
of both

the residual
universe
waiting for it
to happen
again

I love the "positron seeks electron". That led me through the rest of the poem. I must do some research. In a freschman physics class I asked the professor if, since there is antimatter, was such a thing as antigravity? Another student, who was a national science scholarship winner interrupted and said "that was stupid". To which the professor said that he didn't think so since that summer experiments were going to be done at CalTech to try to answer that question. I have never found out the answer to my question. Nice inspiring write!
