Chiralities

Because of you, I've changed chiralities. 
You're not a chemistry person, so let me explain;
All of my atoms were buzzing connected in a stable conformer (that's a shape)
and you come in, like a tornado or metaphor or non-symetrical carbon,
and I am an enantiomer, mirror image, of what I was before,
but so different. 
Nothing lost, nothing gained, nothing broken. 
You didn't touch me.  There was no reaction. 
What held me together was energy,
what holds me together is energy,
Every painting is, after all, made of paint, but
because of you, I've changed chiralities.
