I Am Atom

I am atom.
I am here, and not here too.
That is true.

All you see is me, and yet
I'm too small to see.
You see?
Are you confused?

I'm not even solid,
not on my own.
Not even here all the time.

I'm a dot of hardly here.
The tiniest bit.
The smallest drip of thing that can be.
That's me.

I am atom.
I am here, and not here too.
That is true.
