My Brash Attempt at Poetry

My sister, the poet, inspires me. She's much better than me, but here's my poems. You're supposed to write about what you think about. What do I think about? Chemistry... duh

Synthesis

Redox and Diels Alder

Porphyrins and hemoglobin

Cobalamines, Freidel-Crafts, coordination compounds, electrolysis, hydration, hydrogenation, necleophilic attack, acid-base, organic, inorganic…

Breathless

Consumes my life while consuming limiting reagents

A Whole Four Years

My passion is odd

When people hear, they tune me out

“Chemistry? Oh…”

Snap judgement for someone I’m not

Or stop thinking cause they think I’ll do all the thinking

Yeah, I spend way more time than you

Thinking about the way the world works

The wisdom of the carbons that know exactly

The right number of hydrogens to be right

Even Microsoft says I’m wrong

What do they know?

I know a whole four years of it
