one word quark: drive
flagrant
this bend curves through
green waves
the mind's own
wave, as if
feynman had
nothing better to
do than invent
the rest of your life
in one quick flurry.

well, this one got me thinking and reading about quarks. i enjoyed it. i thought at first you were comparing a golf ball off the drive into the green grass to a quark caroming as it decays. But then i learned that quarks are charged in colors and that there is green and anti-green, and that its name comes from Finnegan's Wake by James Joyce because the scientist wanted a word that sounded like the quacking of a duck. At this point, I googled Kwarktaart and realized that it's Dutch for a German treat that I used to love. Now i'm just hungry!
I do love the imagery of a flagrant green quark driven in green waves through the jasmine in my mind (or in feynman's mind). i'm not sure if quarks are the sum total of the rest of my life, though... although decay probably is.
"Flagrant." The perfect word to praise the audacity of quarks.
Hey, one dedicated to the elusive Paschal:

Teresa: Wonderful digging there, hermana. Love the green and anti-green (which in my demented head seems greener than green itself). The jasmine sounds wonderful, but decay - for you? - I think not.
San: That's a 10-4.
Richard: Messages received. I am on my way.
