zero-dimensional point particles
have done my brane in
an implosion on a pinprick
Cassini has found moonlets
in the rings of Saturn
footballs orbiting end over end
yet the size of entire fields,
and two thousand miles across
but an eightieth of the system
rings, propellor-shaped wakes
perturbed by gravity
the weight of discovery
that shatters history
like a prehistoric moon
Pan's nemesis the nymphs
which dance through the rings
undisturbed by the vacuous
meaning of celestial things.
