Collision Induced Dissociation

They’re closing in,
We are confined.
They’re whizzing by,
We’re paralyzed.

They spray, and rain, and hail, and storm,
We’re smashed and pulverized.
They’re constant and continuous,
We’re helpless and conspicuous,

They’re small,
We’re large,
They pierce the cloud,
We’re blown to smithereens.
