The Dance Of A Trillion Poem by Aniruddha Pathak

A dozen of noughts led by a lone One
Dancing in concert in abandon gay,
A shepherd leading herd of a trillion,
A gaggle of migrating birds on way
From frozen north to weather wintry time
And give birth to crackling little chicks,
Looking for a haven of warmer clime,
Together to chip in with trillion tricks
All in matter of a blinking moment
In an era of a gorgeous tera1,
O of blazing speeds stray minds to torment,
In power of ten each nought numbered bara2,
And nowhere near its denouement to reach,
The dance goes on, on quantum scale an itch.
______________________________________________________
tera1: Ten to the power of 12, or one trillion. A teraflop chip can perform more than a trillion operations in a second. And this dance of speed goes on a quantum scale itch as this sonnet says. bara2: In Hindi is 12 (one dozen) .
