these words you see
are from excited electrons
excited by other electrons
into making photons
and throwing them your way
when i write to you
i feel like a child prodigy
playing these plastic keys
making music with these words
music to send to you
and this trust i have
trust that you are there
trust that you are reading this
right now
comes from my firm knowledge
that the same electrons that
make steel hard
and stars shine
are responsible for getting
you this message
the entire universe
is on our side
