A Poetic Theory Poem by Amanda Shelton

Becker’s, tests tubes, chemicals and such…
Lab rats running the maze
Wires hanging from the walls
static
stations abort
overload computer screens
mathematical theories on how the universe breaths

Think like the scientist
in a quite lab
researching and thinking
at the ticking of the clock

Theories of poetry
moving in my head
ink bleeds
pours from my thoughts

The Scientists
a poetic theory
I bring it up
with paper and pen
