the pitch drop experiment


eighty six years
and counting
the drops.
eight.

like the fall
of an apostle
this mishap
is yet to be 
witnessed.

calculated
callibrated
anticipated
shy.

solidly fragile
looks like forever,
feels like inspiration
lying in the belly
of science.

so when
a solid drips
there is no alchemy,
no magic,
the only thing to change
are our perceptions.

  1. Pitch drips slowly, too, as we all disintegrate into this moment.
