Big Eyes, Bigger Insight

I dare you all to tell me what you see

In eyes the farthest to the photo’s right.

Clairvoyants alone might hold the key

To fathom out those pupils’ furthest sight.

Electron microscopes had not yet been

Invented, so the seers of the world

Would not have known what he has lately seen,

The microscopic facts he now finds curled.

These facts were always waiting for his eyes

To learn about in coils of D.N.A.

A single strand of it, despite its size…

Two hundred billion atoms on display.

  His eyes now see what science did not know.

    His scientifice arguments now grow.
