Unified Field Theory    

There are lots of tiny things I love;
things that are embarrassingly small.
Fire them at gold foil and most of them will pass straight through.
I keep waiting for a unifying field theory
that will bring them all together
into one cohesive whole.
But 'til then I'll collect them,
like pennies in a collection plate,
and take on faith
that I'll have enough
when the time comes.
