It's Still Life

Between Molecules

It’s the tiniest of marvels,
it could vanish,
slip between molecules.

Can’t you see it, he says,
It’s the smallest spider ever.
It’s as if it fell thru a pinprick
from a scintilla universe.

And I’m squinting at it, and say,
No, I think it’s a grain of pollen –
’cause it’s not moving at all.
