Breakthrough...? Or Botch...?

'Tis been Ben's blind ambition 

to glom atomic fission 
atop atomic fusion -- 
less mission, more illusion,

since particle division,

qua sine non for fusion,

"requires one huge collision...,"

so sighs Sir Isaac Newsion.

A parallel delusion --

to glue atomic fusion

to subatomic fission --

completes Ben's fleeting vision.

An alien math'matician --

(a Martian, a Venusian)

might reach some new conclusion.

For now, Ben's Tao...? Derision.
