These Atoms are Real

The space between the porous borders of the atom
Is the space that stands between you and me
And between you and me the atoms speak possibility
Where nothing is the distance between here and there

Where one cannot touch here
Nor clutch there because
Lest one be here
Lest one be there

The space between you and me
Between the porous borders of the atoms
Speak possibility
Where nothing is what you
Can’t taste Can’t touch Can’t see

That nothingness, we know
That emptiness is filled
That absence of stuff
We can feel
