the flame that bends,
drawn by a vacuum,
kindle that carefully,

the nose of a dog,
with more glands,
and more glands,

than the human nose,
                          shows,
there are so many things,

too, where we are not the pinnacle yet
we thrive on and can be,
a guess at best, and include the unknown,

there is a foil
the unknown
has it as a foil,

but beware,
this one is a killer,
just ask the cat...

Have I got you ...
Or are you furious,
At how easy this was,

Try painting a Vermeer,
Using a mirror,
don't rush, use a brush too,

Do illusion, with light
refraction and reflection,
Tell me, after you see Penn and Tell..er,

Magic... illusion ...
Genius...all find a home,
it could fill a tome,

to define,
to expand,
on curiosity,

like thermal dynamics
and liquid viscosity,
or how do bumble bees fly?
                                            and why are they dying,
                                                I find this very trying,
                                                in their hives, are they lying,
waiting for some human,
to ask the right question,
with a taste for sweet and honey, of creativity

so Dorothy Parker,
has said she is
better without these
love,
freckles,
doubt and


*Curiosity?
