When chemistry analogies are in play
variation risks headlong copper mug stray
abandon the water and lead the hills along
a frequency committed to landing but never wrong
for separation remains while mixtures deny
any which carbon, when ion storms reply
asymptotes signal a moment to stop and breathe
forgiveness reacts to an abundance of seeds
we hours sample minutes at the kids' table
as cliché holiday situation ironic out: fable
synchronize the beaker to the family clock
pushing on glassware, an elemental stock.
