An Electron's Longings
The electron
at the edge of the valence band
said:
I stand upon the edge
Condemned by fate's cruel hand
To lie in a state of perpetual freeze
With energy lacking to do a trapeze
Across to freedom's higher land
There are many who have risen beyond
Coulombic forces. They blisfully exist
Unshelled. Their orbitals know no bond.
With carefree abandon they diffuse and drift.
Will no photon shine a light ?
Will no dopant lend a hand ?
To conquer Fermi's improbable height
To leap into the conduction band !
