Cesium for
   Certainty

Janet Kuypers
12/20/19, Periodic Table Twitter Verse
poem for the element Cesium (#55, Cs)
on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, & Tumblr

Threats keep increasing—
find our GPS for time,
log in protests & crimes
to the nanosecond.

It takes too much to keep
this city clean; we wonder
if this is the worst of times,
or just one of those times.

With too much to do
I can’t lose a second
in 100 million years
to keep up.
