The Standard Model
has to do with the crazy obedience
of particles in time,
their rapacious, inexorable rage
of negatives and positives flowing
and reacting graph-like together,
so there, spread out in space and time,
you were waiting,
your hair flowing
as I
ventured across the broad grass
to guests afloat on colours, bells for tea,
tinkling of cut glass, and you telling me
That the Standard Model had stood the test of time.
And that it couldn`t be other than that
in the standard moral order.
But what
Rapacious obedience in minds,
What follows - up,
what hands- in - hands across the sea,
That you had invited me?
