Particles


By: Brandon Elliott

I am just a particle
in a sea of infinite boundaries
Floating, shouting, opinionated
though nobody ever agrees

I am just a particle
small and breathless and tired
Every idea I've ever had
failed and died and backfired

I am just a particle
though I can try to be something more
the soldiers I've waged against gravity's grasp
will surely lose the war

I am just a particle
and yet there's possibilities
Universes have been created and destroyed
by the rage a particle has seen
