Science Dissolved Poems In Acid Soup

A scientist tired of research left science one night in the lab to let it sleep for a while in a test tube on the rack, went happily home relieved, inspired by the spring air spray started writing poems next day. The poems took geometric shapes with stack of words arranged as symbols of complex molecules emanating like DNA strings through a fissure of the mind profoundly analytic and precise methodically trained by science. The words balanced sentences perfectly and expressed the notion rationally like the chemical reactions formulating the idea poems wanted to prove which surprised the poet in distress because he thought he had left science in the lab to sleep and rest. Science had sleep-walked un-sighted to his new work-place the poetry lab poured chemicals on the deranged words broke the displaced sentences to shards and put the poems in acid soup, returned to the test tube un-noticed it dissolved in sleep and vanished. The scientist lost his science in an instant and the new poet his poetry nascent. July 20, 2017.
