Concrete Idea

Concrete Idea Metal falls from the sky without sound Bluish white cadmium and nickel Trees follow in their shadow Disintegrate on contact A simple thermometer reads common thoughts When in a dream of water But this is an element of surprise Coming to life in our real world while awake Science rises to the occasion of simple speculation Something caused the event near by the lake Trees just don’t disappear….disintegrate An asteroid made of metals could have done it Or something similar comes to mind The September 10, 2013 meteorite discovery The 6 tailed asteroid P/2013 P5 made of rocks could be the culprit Or one of its cousins caused the blaze and ultimate find Perhaps gneiss, schist; slate or even marble metamorphic rocks Determined the destruction at the site It must have been an asteroid of some sort….There’re sure But nothing concrete from science is found in this tale Except the Hubble discovery of a 6 tailed meteor called P/2013 P5 And that’s the only solid idea and concrete thought to share
