At the Fair

    Synthesis of minerals
        dug up from mother earth

    Combine with metals rare
        that promise to give birth

    to headlines seldom seen
        for scientific stars… 

    jaded artists hawk their wares
       wistful buyers beware

Go for it. Read it a third time. It'll mean something different than the first two times, I think....
