A Nuclear Explosion In My Head 7.10.2008 Poem by Margaret Alice

Agent Snowflake wrote a confession: Today
I was bored and hungry - thus went to a den
of iniquity and obtained

An illegal cheese griller pastry; I ate – guilt
always comes too late - now I shall
probably die

My head is jumping up and down and my
stomach is ringing bells of alarm, though
I am sorry

For messing with danger without glory, for
allowing hunger pains to be stronger than
brains -

The nefarious deed is done and I have to
sit through every strange fluctuation in the
quantum equation

That passes through the electromagnetic
graph in my head; it feels like every single
particle there

Is trying to force themselves through two
holes at once – and the splitting of atoms
is causing

A nuclear explosion in my head!
