Ode to Science

Every time I count my coins
and roll them into fodder
some are too dirty to spill through the modern counter
I take them to the kitchen
and mix them in a jar
of vinegar and baking soda
and I am transcended
science class
fourth grade
spectacular and naive
homemade bombs in a jar

DS, he's back to normal, if he ever was, thank you for asking.

Poetess-is that you on the bus? I didn't think you were that pretty, wow.

DWC- bowing. . . isn't that TWPITG photo, or am I absolutely confused, again?
