you and I have no chemistry. Henceforth
we are dissociated, I my own
entity. I cannot comprehend
your spontaneous flares;
insoluble mysteries; variable states,
golden dust motes floating
precipitously -- the facts stand as this:

when I count the ways I know thee,
the technicalities fail me.

Nice one Eli! Well for a chem joke it's good and suitably understandable. It reminded me of this:

Ode to a Proton

Oh proton, how your positive charge makes me blush!
I watch you from a distance, and my heart just turns to mush.
If only I was a neutron, we could frolic for awhile,
and then my dear I'm sure, I would wear a permanent smile.
But alas, I'm an electron, and I must watch you from afar,

so far from where you are.

It seems to me that my fate is sealed,
but how can my love not be revealed?
My mass will not be complete until you are mine,
so give me this chance, and show me a sign.
Some day our gazes will meet, and I'll see your eyes,
and we will meet together and neutralize...
so until that day, farewell my opposite attract,

my love for you will always stay intact.
