I would be interested in knowledgeable comments on this work, and whether you find it amusing:

The link is correct, I'm trying to find out why it won't work for you.

Meanwhile here is the text:
QUANTUM MELODY
Below subatomic, the particles/slip through Heisenberg’s uncertainty nets./ They cannot even be called articles;/they’re just mathematical epithets./Though we may say they have up or down spins/(we may even find them charming or strange),/like angels that dance on the heads of pins,/it takes metaphysics to find their range./They have no shape we can define, except/as bleary fields of energy. Until/we measure them, there’s no place where they’re kept;/their locus is totally vibratile./They pluck at space like an instrument string,/
at this scale. Quark! The hadron angels sing!
