Curium’s radioactive
                          glitter

Janet Kuypers
11/30/21 Twitter-length Periodic Table poem
for element #96, Curium (Cm)
#janetkuyperstwitterverseperiodictablepoem
on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Tumblr

Berkeley physicist Al Ghiorso, known to bat around
radioactively-filled tennis balls, once overloaded
a particle accelerator with helium bombarding
a Curium filter, swelling the Curium filter ‘til it popped
like a balloon of radioactive glitter. He ducked,
and all were evacuated.
