The Chemistry of Everyday Life

A pan of warm water in perfect equilibrium
The salt in such profound saturation
That a single grain more
Would precipitate the whole
Crystals rain through liquid medium to solid floor
But no the unbounded fantasy
Does not stand up in the macrocosm
The marble-swirled batter of interruption
Beautiful in its way but lacking in continuity
Molecular symbols as boat car house knife book
Religions gain momentum in the cards
The size of the Vehicle Assembly Building
Bigger than an Airbus A380
Those who wait heads bowed
They can’t get no satisfaction
Though they’ve tried and they’ve tried and they’ve tried and they’ve tried
And so to compose an alternative list
Of abstractions of the utmost precision
Ionic bonds endless space radiating above the crosswalk
Vulnerable maternity
Bits of information in enormous quantity
Whose terms regard the pelletlike doubts
With disdain
She removed her sweater
And took off her shoes
Thereby obviating another silken closure
