Absolute Zero

The coldest place in the universe
Isn’t a point of interstellar space
Just to the right of Antares.
It’s a physics lab in Helsinki, Finland

The electrons sit quietly
Indecisive and uncertain
Waiting to be observed
No motion, no spin, no interactions

No strong force, no weak
Gravity has no rainbow
No up, no down, no charm
The center holds, but only from ennui

Is the color of cold
A shade of deepest blue?
One of the hues of hydrogen?
Or simply the absence of red?
