Physicists know what dark matter
does but not what it is. (So it's likelove.) It exerts gravity like mass--
a bunch of matter. It's probably
made of particles because what isn't?
Otherwise, the scientists know nothing,
call it "dark matter" for now, and watch
it work, doing their galactic math. I
love her. I don't know what love's
made of, but I know the force it exerts
on me, and what I do for her
because of it. For me, that's good
enough, and of course I assume
that particles are involved.
