Identical Image Not Reflected upon Superimposition

Not superimposable, no mirror image
in chiral molecules, chiral handedness,
stereocenters.

Maybe cosmic rays
to muons magnetically polarized
for two millionths of a second alive

traveling near speed of light
detected more than seven hundred meters
below the earth

dying to electrons’ magnetic orientation
always the same, small difference in mutation
rate billions of years ago

the beginnings of life,
in molecules

simple, fragility.

 

Sound, Intention, Word: Moving Waters

Thoughts affect water. Emoto
tested music and prayer,
written words attached
upon a container of ice
crystals,

how responses
changed their structure
from beauty to disarray,
based on positive or negative
sound and vibration,

to find in the end, beginning
awareness: conversation, waters
holding universal language.
