π¨π¬π I think I was born a child of science
Because I examine life with such defiance.
Adults have always told me various things are triumphs
But honestly, I think they've forgotten how to use silence.
"Don't look at the sun; you'll go blind"
they would shout without prompting.
Then three year old me walked over
like "what's that about?"
So after a staring contest with the sun
Would my eyes no longer be fine?
A question that without their "advice"
Would never have crossed my mind.
The following year I dove into the world of chemistry.
The explosive properties of baking soda & vinegar had a strong hold on me.
They never stayed too long on the shelf of our pantry;
I'd rush outside to build a model of volcanic insanity!
And after a traumatic episode of earwigs raining down on me,
I took to collecting bugs as well.
A fascinating little world opened up before my eyes,
And it was mindbogglingly swell.
"Stay away from that hornet's nest; you're allergic!"
Well, now I got to see this shit. It'll be worth it.
After all, they say experience is the best teacher--
And a dedicated scientist would give their life to meet her.
