like a conversation with my physicist friend
whose eloquent descriptions of molecular interactions
leave me wondering
whether we speak the same language
until I realize
with a big silent bang
as I run to catch up with her words
that the results of her labor
have changed the way I tell time
and have put a global web of information at my fingertips
and in one Oppenheimerian flash
could change the course of civilization,
and I am struck by awe
not at how different we are
but at the eerie perfection with which
she understands the smallest parts
of me.
