Four Evals And One Bad Series of Haikus

Brighter than a red sunset
Pouring onto me
Molten fiery new ideas

A peaceful early rising
Quells the need for thoughts
Other than this sweet science

Speech becomes a new pattern
Building on the past
Believe in your new knowledge

Then: who-what-when-where-why-how
Questions fly along
And explanations unfold

Inverts configuration
One-step back-attack
Substitutes this thing for that

Vague images of glassware
Hot plates, stir bars, ice
Mixing, boiling, filtering

Some simple steps repeated--
Learn new techniques that
You never knew you needed:

How Not To Catch Yourself On Fire
How To Win A Fight With Inanimate Objects
How Not To Stab Yourself With A Syringe
How To Adapt When Things Aren't Working
How To Be More Patient Than You Ever Thought You Could

Study for your final test
And clean up your mess
Before going home again

No more class Monday morning
No more science dreams
No more wishing for surcease

Suddenly you wonder why
You ever came here
Why you're missing M2O

Shouldn't the end taste more like freedom than withdrawal?
