“Physicists Shed Light on Precise Shape of Single Photon”
—Sci.News

That science sheds new light on light
Should not surprise or shock us.
But “Some are Born to Endless Night”
And grope through ceaseless ruckus;
There’s more of them, it seems, these days.
However, hope shines bright.
Behold Aurora’s least displays:
Each photon in its flight
Conforms to laws and does not cheat
Nor sneak nor snarl nor sneer.
A photon’s true and strong and fleet,
A star by which to steer.
