Ultraviolet mafia

exacting private taxes on the air.

Oxygen is an independent element.

Yet shrieks when hydrogen is rended from it.

 

Hi.

I am a neutron.

Hi.

I am an imaginary number.

Hi.

I am dark matter.

 

Light blows this way

then that,

a cheap exotic dancer.

Contortionist.

Extortionist.

And always the ultraviolet mafia

is skimming some off the top.
