by Eric A. Weil
Neutrino, quark, lepton, superstring;
The “God Particle” is a Theory of Everything.
Some physicists used the Large Hadron Collider
To make Einstein’s theories just a bit tidier.
Infinitesimally smaller than infinitesimal,
The boson named Higgs flies faintly recognizimal;
So now that we know Higgs bosons exist,
The question remains: Of what do they consist?
Eric A. Weil teaches at Elizabeth City State University in North Carolina. He has two chapbooks: A Horse at the Hirshhorn (Finishing Line, 2002) and Returning from Mars (Main Street Rag, 2009).
