Chirality

Rae Armantrout

If I didn't need

to do anything,

would I?

Would I oscillate

in two

or three dimensions?

Would I summon

a beholder

and change chirality

for "him"?

A massless particle

passes through the void

with no resistance.

Ask what it means

to pass through the void.

Ask how it differs

from not passing.
