Boyfriends

Your boyfriend reminds me of the Higgs Boson particle

Your boyfriend reminds me of the Higgs
Boson, “God particle”, the key
long-sought to complete your universe:
an astounding discovery.

Is he the elusive one you deem
required for your life-plan to work?
Does he fit the Standard Model well?
Or is he less Quark, and more Berk?

My dear! The Higgs, short-lived, unstable,
has no potential as a life-mate
and I’m afraid ‘ere long, you’ll find him
in a leptonic final state[i].
