Laboratories




Scientific method
experimentation
calculation, compartmentalization
explain, label, classify
rectify, engineer, rebuild

They say it’s in our nature.
That need to figure it out.
To Analyze it.
Hypothesize it.
Revolutionize it.
Divide it.
And conquer it.

And thank God
for breathing us that nature
because without it we would have
no flat screens
no oil rigs
no warheads, web porn, or wall street.

If I poor A into B
what will explode?

Curiosity
is our nature.

And it just wouldn’t be our nature
to stand and simply marvel
at the hills
cutting notches out of the horizon
without trying to determine
whowhatwhenwherewhy
they were cut?

And how can we cut them down?
