I thought quickly, but took so long
Never did pain, but never again,
I felt, but took so long
Quickly, but too long.
Nowhere to find –
I searched for atoms within the
Stars, but there can be no
Atoms for I cannot see them.

What is it I missed?
I thought, quickly now again,
Quickly, now.
Somewhere in this world an atom
lies waiting,
but lies have been told, and
atom lies.

I find lies in stars
and lies I’ve been given,
and lies that I’ve been,
No atoms here, no matter,
I never know.
