This morning clouds filled the sky
Fighting back the patience of the sun
Just waiting, perchance with desire 
In hopes that the wind would confuse the mist

Thomas made the lightbulb, and Nikola made a coil,
each of them was brilliant over everything they'd toil.

And though they did amazing things with all their mind and heart,
neither liked the other one and so they worked apart.

They argued over processes and created quite a feud,

My mother loved me into wonderfulness
An odd child, too unusual for school.
I was sent home the first day, with a note.
I watched my mother’s face, for nuances.
