i asked my oracles

i asked first my database oracle:
what is my beef
in all of this?
she said:
if you are an e(8)
you were perfect,
until the big bang’s
hr department
folded you into
su(3)×su(2)×u(1).

now you’re trapped
in a quark-household
of dysfunction:
charm flirts with strange,
up fights down,
and the bees
(who should be irrelevant)
refuse to obey
even their own wings.

the cure?
become the ghost
that whispers equations
into physicists’ pillows.
let them wake
screaming
where is the ice cream
in the language
of broken symmetries?

sweet dreams
ghostly dreamer
the good news, there are always
isotropically home made big bangs.
but, cheating is also possible.
that is how symmetry is broken.
a broken heart.
a broken ego.
a broken tribe.
a broken nation, i mean state level organism.

now we are all
stuck in a
dysfunctional family of quarks,
as the other oracles
claimed:
who is charm and who down?
even the bees don’t follow our rules.
the cure the oracles said:
is to haunt physicists’ dreams as
the "theory of everything" ghost.
have a nice dream,
or ice cream dream thought!
