Measurement 

by A.M. Sullivan

Stars and atoms have no size,

They only vary in men's eyes.

Men and instruments will blunder

Calculating things of wonder.

A seed is just as huge a world

As any ball the sun has hurled.

Stars are quite picayune

As any splinter of the moon.

Time is but a vague device;

Space can never be precise;

Stars and atoms have a girth,

Small as zero, ten times Earth.

There is, by God's swift reckoning

A universe in everything.
