Politics vs. Particle Physics by Lacy D PhillipsPolitics is a super collider -
intricate, immense, unwieldy,
entirely dependent on unknowns.
In this metaphor, I give you to understand,
honesty is the Higgs Bosun. 01/28/2009 Author's Note: I may or may not tack on a few more stanzas, each illuminating its own metaphorical concept revolving around the parallels and interdependencies of politics and particle physics.

Posted by Julie Adams on 01/29/09 at 02:28 PM This poem leaves particles on the mind, to ponder, to recall later, when political ideas collide with living systems in the world around us...I eagerly await what more this may become...a pleasure as always to wander in your metaphors...peace, jewels xxx |
