Electronics for poets

Electrons are selfish little things,
So puffed up in their own ego
That they rush as quickly as they can to the nearest space
In which their own field can be maximized.

Thus it is possible for one electron's field
To push away another electron,
For even though the second electron's field
Prevails over the first electron's field
Nearby the second electron,
Still the second electron's field is diminished
From its full possible glory.

This is unacceptable to the second electron,
And it promptly undertakes to move itself
To a location of greater magnificense.
