Who Ordered That?


.“… on 15 December (2015), two separate teams at the (Large Hadron Collider) independently reported hints of (a new) particle… the reaction of many experts was similar to that of US physicist Isidor Isaac Rabi when the muon…was discovered in 1936: (to wit) “Who ordered that?”

.
who ordered that?
………………….. one of the oldest asks

to have run around skulls
on philosophic nags
&
theologic buffaloes
since asks began:

a foot on each
or
both on either
knocked 
by tiny gods 
into the traces between
dragged through mud by beasts
until that ask
surfaces bloodied by hooves
to be asked again & again
(
to date)
like a stylus stuck 
in a vinyl groove
as if it could be answered
by more than guess & footwork

well enough spun & given
well enough to satisfy
new math & science proton riders
on a lightning chase through CERN’s
large hadron collider
…………………….. Good luck with that,
said the universal
…………………….  long-time
…………………….. light-and-dark-
matter provider
