Overjoyed

The inevitable urge to smile . . .
Making eyes twinkle with joy
A blush creeps up on you
"No way!" you say
You can't deny it
It's written all over your face
You get goofy and giggly
Close to your dreams
No control over your heart
Your body only a means of expression
Rockets launched in your brain
Confuse you, when at task
Nothing in order
Except that urge to smile

Those damned crushes when you're in school!

ZOOMING MATTER

The acids buzz around me,
Bases beyond my foundations
Alkalis make me gulp water
As I go thru the text.
The pH value of my brain…
You guessed a minus seven.
I’m pooped.
Let me outta here.
The equations seem to grumble
Their imbalance a striking feature
Catenation, neutralization
Titration, hydrogenation & Oxidation.
They buzz like mosquitoes in my ear.
Reduction calms me down.
`It’s OK you’ll have to do this
But once more. That’s it!’
Ready to burn my book…
A pal says, `Save trees, give it to me.’
An environmentalist…Oh no!
That reminds me of Hydrocarbons…
Help!
I’m beginning to get immune to it
The reaction prevented by a rusty head!
I hate it.
I’ve never felt this way before.
It’s not love.
I’m feeling murderous toward a certain Mosley and Dobrienier.
Good night and don’t buzz in my ears!
