Daughter of a rocket scientist son of a nuclear engineer and they begat a son
a boy too starry-eyed to question the stars— the way they hang in space, the fusion that keeps them burning brightly, or how to launch an object past them— more concerned with the constellations of perfect freckles found on his beloved's shoulders
a boy too enthralled with Existence and describing it in artful words to contemplate its composition or to ponder Existence's place on Other Worlds
a boy enraptured with the Changing of the Seasons— photosynthesis and chloroplasts and planetary tilt? Irrelevant
a boy who'd rather write of Love than consider its chemical makeup or wonder how or why it is who'd prefer to write of leaves dancing spirals in the breeze than aerodynamics and air resistance and gravitational pull
a boy who sometimes stops and only ponders Science concerning his Genetics and wonders where it all was lost.
I often joke about my inability in math and science and with regards to my brilliant grandfathers... And I do wonder to where the brains went. No matter. Maybe it's a recessive or silent gene and maybe I'll have genius kids. *Fingers crossed hopefully*
