Science

I am not be able
to explain
the speed of light
or the width
of an atom

both of which
are causing me
to panic.

I'm only a man!
and science is
not my religion;

oh Darwin,
if only you could
see the state I'm in,
you'd burn your book

and go back to god.

I am frustration
and the never ending
naivety,
and I'm afraid

I'll never know
anything
but the pace of
heart beats
and the width

of embraces.
