CASE 34
FENGXUE’S “SINGLE ATOM”
The Atomic Age
To set up a single atom
Or not to set up a single atom —
That is the question.
Really it cannot be done.
But if you could do it,
You’d need two hands.
Case 34
One hand — very small, cool, and steady —
Perfect for dealing with tiny things like atoms.
One hand — large and warm,
Intertwined with a brother or sister
Similarly equipped.
Going on like this,
Hand in hand, arm in arm,
There is no need for nations.
Ordinary people relax
