Fractions of a micro-joule
can set you loose and free
no wonder, little molecule,
you elude and madden me.
Hiding in your messy moles
a beast called entropy destroys
all those desired starry goals
that live in minds of dreaming boys.
You may constitute a hormone
and dictate my love and pleasure
but as Heisenberg has shown
you are very hard to measure.
But sometimes symbols will reveal
some quality that you possess
or some power we might steal
to make us suffer somewhat less.
