from the atom-sized world
fade out into nothingness,
disappearing forever.
Those sending out the hopeful
symbols
are more lost in the cosmic
haystack
than they could ever dare
to imagine.
Nothing they do
or experience
or think
or believe
means anything outside
of the atom.
If the microscopic world
were to suddenly
explode,
the only epitaph
its inhabitants could ever
hope for would be a moment
of incredulity from a distant
astronomer, who might turn
to an associate and say, "Did you
see that?"
(And need it be said that the
reply would be,
"See what?")
