From a Small Skyscraper

An
endless flow of headlights
snakes
through city streets.
Sub-atomic
particles
stream out from stars.
Riders
stream to a London
Electron
bonds with nucleus,
electricity becomes composite.
The
attraction atavistic;
a
sense of grand potential.
Stars spider galaxies.
The
snake of headlights
strings
across spider galaxies.
Genes
snake across
the spidered string of chromosomes.
In
this equation, need is fleeting
while
desire is a constant.
Chaos
is its own precise pattern.
In this equation,
potential is the constant
and the probable is fleeting.
