Chemistry

IS

a description of verse
a suggestion of quality
a notation of quantity

to theorise and define
brief organic nomenclature
or analytical calculation

what IS gives way
to what CAN BE

the unknown found
a structure discovered
ideas thought

pen put to paper
lines, shapes and colours
smile as we read

CAN BE

If Chemistry were just words...they'd all make perfect sense to me.
Words can be defined.
Words can be manipulated.
Numbers can be defined.
Numbers can be manipulated.
The difference? I remember the meanings of the words and can pick up on the nuances of manipulation.

1 and 1 will always mean the same thing to me...but not for everyone else....

This is a real good poem you know?
So well constructed.
I really like it.
From the bottom of my heart.
