Scottish physicists declare
that the universe may stop expanding
and implode instead
English physicists declare
that neutrinos suggest
that effect could precede cause
An American woman dances
with joy in a kitchen,
laughing and singing, while
a Scottish man melts butter
in a skillet, breaks eggs,
drops them in the butter,
adds pepper and salt,
flips the eggs with a spatula,
adds more salt, more pepper,
toasts two slices of bread,
puts them on a plate,
covers them with the eggs,
hands her the plate and a fork,
kisses her, kisses her —
the dance goes on
