should emit particles, but when Hawkings did the math
he found that all black holes emit radiation.

form and eventually dissipate,
even though scientists at CERN
have been unable to create them.
That could be funny, because
they are all too obvious
when you know where to look.
Failures, heartbreaks, deaths
puncture the fabric of normality.
Without grace, they suck us in.
Some holes, after their creation,
grow by absorbing things that matter,
consuming lives.
Others wax and wane like the moon
and, if we wait and wish enough,
eventually disappear.
The magic of being human includes the logic of mathematics
and, perhaps, a general failure to comprehend the enormous destructive powers of the universe
and, in it, how small we are.
