A Shift in the Tides of H2O and MeOH

maydanae

Shift in the tides of H2O and MeOH

As I side, and align, more with that

Which I was meant to do, in lieu

Of all that distracts in this ride — the boat, it shakes

The poems are great, the stars in the sky

And they've gotten me far; the horizon

Is now of watercolor mandarin

I must say goodbye

To this idea of idolized purpose, of poise

When my purpose

May not entirely be with the arts — in fact, barely

The science: The chemistry, physics, mathematical analysis

It all calls in waves of gamma, or alpha, or beta 

Reaching for me and the now-soaking lark: ground-dweller dove dark

Through patterns and equations

Marked by poetic annotations, I find

The azeotrope of which I must attempt to separate

  • Comment from author about the poem: I write this in my Process Controls class as I attempt to get through my last semester of college as a studying engineer, a lot of these concepts directly correlate to my classes and what I have learned. Only a few things though.
