The Dance Of A Trillion

A dozen of noughts led by a lone One Dancing in concert in abandon gay, A shepherd leading herd of a trillion, A gaggle of migrating birds on way From frozen north to weather wintry time And give birth to crackling little chicks, Looking for a haven of warmer clime, Together to chip in with trillion tricks All in matter of a blinking moment In an era of a gorgeous tera1, O of blazing speeds stray minds to torment, In power of ten each nought numbered bara2, And nowhere near its denouement to reach, The dance goes on, on quantum scale an itch. ______________________________________________________ tera1: Ten to the power of 12, or one trillion. A teraflop chip can perform more than a trillion operations in a second. And this dance of speed goes on a quantum scale itch as this sonnet says. bara2: In Hindi is 12 (one dozen) . ______________________________________________________ Sonnets | 10.02.07 |
