A tribute to my 7th grade chemistry teacher on the fourth of July.
supernova explosion
Room 102, 7th period
Miss Monks
spinster of combustibles
Bunsen and beaker
bare roots exposed
igniting wonder
the “small cloud” of Andromeda
burst into brilliance
in room 102
the perplexity
of life endured
in inner ring suburbs:
unstable configurations
irresistible attractions
couplings we never dreamed of
no travelling show this
but a daily
initiation
into covalent mystery.

About Me

I feel the same way towards them and those who taught me a love of words.
