Anyone ever play around with the space-filling models for making model molecules? Not ball-and-stick models, but these cups that fit together according to the rules of chemical bonding like overlapping spheres.... this is about them, and about their sounds. (Try it out loud?)


molecules

Whenever I hear ‘molecules’,
(‘…molecules’)

I think of shellacked plastic capsules
snapping into place
with a click from Erno Rubik’s cube.
I think of hollow polymer balls
falling, lovely & fair alveolar volumes
of air, raspberry aggregates rolling
from Legomaniacal grasp that
would clasp each aspect of its space.

Each valved half a ‘cule-de-sac of clacking plastic,
each celluloid shell & hole
a whole hula hooping cell
in Avogadro’s mole.

to dependableriffraff - I use/invent the words that I do, not to impress, but because I think they are exactly right for what I'm trying to do. At least I challenged you, as art should.

I do not see any rhythm or meter. But I guess it is hard to to passionate about molecular structure.

wow
a guy that likes to use big impressive words
that's amazing
he must be a wonderful poet
who does not know
that art should not challenge you merely
but teach you to feel
mathematics challenges me
changing the transmission in my van challenges me
legomaniacal does not challenge me
or
impress
amuse
interest
me
nor
anyone
