Covalence (poem)

Years in age

Is like

Inches in height

Both merely methods

Of measuring

Two of the four

Dimensions

Of space-time

Not obstructions

By themselves

To connections

Between human souls

The universe

In which we are

Wants those linkages

For itself

By its own design

Creating conditions

In which they are apt

To flourish

Sealing them together

With covalent bonds

That only human

Interference

Can prevent

Or break

Weakening

Each time

The fabric

Of the cosmos
