Field Notes

	In science, we observe.
	All only exist when and after they are
	observed.

I, an explorer, lean in with a lens
to catch the scent of rained soil,
the mist above the lake before sunrise—
trying to defy 
the myth of love, with my
list of what I’m meant to find:

	- light feathery kisses in spring breeze’s tickle
	- smiling to smiling eyes in a pavement puddle
	- shared silence after a midnight rain
	- a cocoa cuddle while the world melts away

	Footnote: Data inconclusive
