Poem: The eyes have it

Do amoeba have eyes?
Or electrons, or neutrinos, or quarks?
I'm sure oysters don't.
I don't know about bottom fish.
Does God only issue
Eyes on a need-to-have basis?
And which of us have souls?
When an electron fades away—
If electrons and atoms ever fade away—
Are they also issued a harp and wings?
I could find all of this out
In five minutes, except the soul part,
For which I must wait until I die,
If then.
