Lonely Hearts Club
Feeling small and lonely,
Feeling small and lonely,
place is too big, enormous really.
Have a mate here but can’t get near him.
To be honest, we’ve never met
and at this rate not likely to.
There are others around
but they live on a different level.
Some are attractive, others repel me.
Suppose I should mix, just don’t have the energy.
A drop of sunlight might help me
get on the same wavelength,
but apparently their place is full.
Any visit there would be short lived
then I’d be back where I started,
somewhat enlightened but still in a spin.
Shouldn’t moan, could be worse,
guy I know shares with a group of others.
Tight bunch though, they all stick together,
a strong bond between them.
He says they’re a class act, but a moody lot,
sometimes up, sometimes down.
Lots of jostling for position too,
either top or bottom, strange.
They’re all very close though,
never split up.
On reflection,
there’s a lot of uncertainty there.
Difficult to get a position,
especially at this speed.
Guess I’ll continue moving in my own circle
for another billion years.
Sigh…. An electron in a hydrogen atom is a lonely life
