Little Scientist

Two small fists
discover the world 
is round, blue, 
and fits exactly 
between wonder 
and wanting.

Mouth opens
the first laboratory, 
where everything 
must be tested:
texture, temperature, 
the taste of curiosity.

Eyes focus, 
hands follow, 
brain fires tiny 
lightning storms of connection:
I can make things happen.

This is how learning begins,
not with books or words, 
but with the simple 
revolutionary act of reaching,
and grasping,
and bringing
the universe 
close enough to understand.
