(sometimes) I’m a Periodic Element

I’m on a periodic table of occasional elements

Made up of matter clattering and cluttering

The path of gravity enabling flotation or skating

Depending on the arrangement of elements

Collective as discovered to be

All we know

All we see

Sometimes existence is predicted

A new one is added periodically

With indeterminate chronology and

Little else other than random elements
