Quantum Attitude
The neutron’s Milquetoast existence
never ever asserting insistence
never ever taking a side,
never picking a lane on its ride.
But wondering about those who polarize
what’s in their hearts, what’s in their eyes
So Mr. Neutral asks one day
to see what his neighbor would say.
Mr. Proton, what’s the attraction?
Why try to make a stand
Do you think it can create traction?
You’re not even the tiniest grain of sand.
“Although you go more places, Mr. N, see more things
I stir more and get stirred more, to see what it brings.”
Yes, the neutron says, that’s a different way to be
But please tell me, does it really make you happy?
Mr. P is deep and responsive.
The proton responds, “I’m positive.”
Just an old joke made into a poem.
