Atoms
by Steven G. Fullwood

Every second
Of every day
You are here

You break up
Explode into millions of shards
Impacting everyone
With your small concerns
Your yearnings, cravings.

You don’t think we notice
But we do, baby
We just busy exploding
Passing your essence
As it travels
Unravels
Toward our mouths
And hearts

And when we explode together
We embarrassed
Because our nakedness
Reveals
What we’d all soon forget—

And when we explode together
We embarrassed
Because our nakedness
Reveals
What we’d all soon forget—

And when we explode together
We embarrassed
Because our nakedness
Reveals
What we’d all soon forget—

And when we explode together
We embarrassed
Because our nakedness
Reveals
What we’d all soon forget.
