The Poems of the Air, by Alan Walowitz

Alan’s poetry is rocking me. Dig the sweep of the long sentence in the first stanza. Warp speed! Nice to see the connection with Truth Serum Press, too. Good peeps.

The Poems of the Air
by Alan Walowitz

The existence of the Higgs Boson is one reason why everything we see, including ourselves, all planets and stars, has mass and exists – hence why it was called the ‘God Particle.’
–The Daily Mail

Here comes Higgs
with God riding shotgun!
So hold any plans for our lives
unfolding haphazard and ruinous,
now we’re full speed ahead
with the weighing and measuring
we never cared about in days gone by,
searching what keeps us plump and whole,–
and never even knowing
if this is the real Higgs
or some imposter Higgs, perhaps
the light-hearted one,
maybe even some other boson
we’ve just stumbled on
whistling past the graveyard
of this is where we’re headed–
who cares so long as we don’t go spinning
off the planet like a plate.
