What?

My ability to grasp this world has gone from bad to worse
After learning that we live in an endless universe

Infinity is just a word and not too clear to me
My own world is pretty much what you and I can see

But now we know that all these things for which I dearly care
are not quite what they seem; they’re almost all just air

Molecules, and atoms too, aren’t solid sorts of things
Pictures of what’s inside of them show lots of colored rings

Electrons and other trons that no one yet has seen
Apparently they do exist with lots of space between

What gets me real excited and starts my heart to race
is hearing people say that what looks like empty space

Is really dark, dark matter, beyond my comprehension
and even among scientists causing serious consternation

No doubt there are many other things that haven’t yet been found
some day we may wake up and find that squares are really round

If anyone who reads this poem can help with my confusion
Please add some lines that take us to a sensible conclusion
