I cast the stalks down
just to laugh at the result
recalling times when
my poor methods were occult
past superstition
the travails of blame and fault
I'll tear down this riddle
why my spirits and my salt
tease out its components
find its valences and peaks
reel it out and graph it
in its valences and peaks
in those long years passing
though I struggled to resist
in my inmost heart
I must remain a scientist
