RELATIVE ATOMS

It is of course an oversimplification

To suppose that protons are always particles

And electrons invariably wavicles.

There is a wavicle aspect to every proton,

A particle aspect to every electron.

And yet such obverse aspects are

Ever subordinate to the principal aspects

Of the atomic divide - protons as particles

And electrons as wavicles, just as

The feminine element in every man

And the masculine element in every woman

Is subordinate to their respective sexual essences.

Women are generally soft outside but hard inside,

Men ... hard outside but soft inside,

The former with a wavicle appearance and

A particle essence, the latter with

A particle appearance and a wavicle essence.

Nonetheless there are 'women' whom we

Can regard as hard outside and soft inside,

Just as there are 'men' with a soft outside

But a hard inside - essentially feminine

In their psychic make-up, born to rule over other men.

Similarly, every ideological movement,

Whether Left or Right, contains its opposite within itself -

Communism a right wing no less than fascism a left.

Protons are predominantly particles

And therefore painful, but they can

Also be wavicles and thus visionary.

Electrons are predominantly wavicles

And therefore aware, but they can

Also be particles and thus pleasurable;

And precisely because each component of

The atomic divide influences the other -

Protons dragging particles from electrons,

Electrons dragging wavicles from protons.

Only in the subatomic and supra-atomic domains

Of proton soul and electron spirit can protons

And electrons be absolute, since independent

Of each other and existing in an elemental purism

Of either particle pain or wavicle bliss,

The respective essences of alpha and omega,

The Father and the Holy Ghost.
