Quarks and anti-quarks!

Quantum physics…. I believe when some of your particles (of a sub-atomic nature) spin, mine spin in the same fashion!

Simultaneously!

Hmmm…. Tough sell? How about lucky guess?!

If you search “pi mesons,” the number and complexity of sub-atomic particles is staggering. And they really do play their parts in matters of Quantum Physics.

Reflecting just now, haikus may be a better fit than my impromptu blurb.

I searched. Oh bother! Lost in the first sentence.

Haikus may be better because??? Structure?

My free form attempts resemble sputtering to me. My more formulaic efforts like this morning? Metered sputtering…

So haiku is a more sparse form (I can always be more sparse). With the minimalist syllable count, less sputtering.

And structure, too.
