Editor James assigned us the theme of “Science.” Quintus responded at the pitch meeting, “I’ll write about Chemical Reactions.” Somehow, we knew he wouldn’t be limiting himself to the chemistry of science class.

We’re like bottles of sulfuric acid of different concentrations.

We’re not like noble gases.

We are intoxicated with the neon in the night

Where it’s not so bland.

Life is like a REDOX reaction.

The concentration of sulfuric acid is life.

In this chemical reaction

We’ll meet some tough opponents:

supercilious carbonaceous nitrogen and iron.

At this point, with enough heat and pressure

All can be easily solved.

Behind the spectacular reaction

It’s hard to see our fragile hearts.

Boiling in searing heat,

Flames are burning and water drops are colliding,

Rising fog like silk is confused like feeling.

We’ve been crazy together.
