Gadolinium Janet Kuypers from the “Periodic Table of Poetry” series (#64, Gd) (based on the poem “You are a Force”) 10/2/13 This attraction to you, when I learn what you do: are you a force of nature? Is it your magnetism, and how my need’s only magnified as I draw closer to you? That’s the only way I can explain this, you know. I know this momentum in your magnetism chills me to the core: but the world doesn’t know that your magnetic refrigeration is the energy we need... you must have a power no one else has harnessed, to do this to me. The force you have on me makes my blood rush, and with that blood-brain barrier, I even look at MRI scans, and you’re just the contrast agent to enhance all my vessels. In older times, the electric force between us would even curl me in an arc to you. I know, I know, I must abide by the laws of physics and motion when it comes to you, because, as I said, with your dynamic equilibrium, you must be a force of nature.
