TACHYON PSALM

TACHYON PSALM (for James Hallen)

Telestial makes day seem night –
Looks dark, in spite of starlit farm –
And notwithstanding spikes of light
Feels chill and far in stead of warm.

Mortality makes life seem short –
Infinity looks minuscule –
Falls off inversely to the square –
Significance feels minimal.

Yet super strings project – protect –
Neutrinos purify the air
And penetrate our crust of earth –
Providing bread for every fare.

(14 December 2010, Pleasant Grove, Utah)
