In the Electron Cloud
An electron spinning,
circling
near misses
close calls
Almost but never
quite connecting with any other.
Integral to the atom,
yet not part of the nucleus,
the center,
the hub,
Always circumnavigating,
orbiting,
yet still within the configuration,
unable to disengage,
repelling the other electrons.
