Chemistry

by Carolyn Moon - Pinetree Secondary, Coquitlam BC May 26, 2010

Chemistry is finding the chemical makeup of your Sunday morning hangover
and the exact weight of wealth.
Chemistry is eyewash stations,
and always understanding that something — anything can go wrong.
Chemistry is acid rain and bleach,
The blue and white flame of the Bunsen burner, like a ghost.
Chemistry is acid tongue; the amount of bitterness and hurt in your words
and the anthrax quarantine that follows.
