Many Years Ago

Coercivity uncoerced
Poles of the same stripe repulsing
How odd
Northern boy, Southern girl
Worlds apart
Cultures clash
Iron strikes iron
Sparks fly
Deep mineral mystery
Essence of attraction
Draws from afar
Once moving the attraction grows
Exponential force soon cannot be denied
There is no turning back
There is no turning away
Poles collide with impact
That jars the worlds of both
Old and new symbols
On the left and right
Holding tight now with both hands
Connection made
Kinetic energy equalized
Stability satisfied
Magnetism!
