It might read a bit better if we knew more about just what KIND of atoms these were. A bit more detail! For example, it would read better if we knew it were two HYDROGEN atoms walking down the street. They would indeed be "positive" then.
In the original it's 'two hydrogen atoms.' But as far as we know from the text, only one of them is positive.
