Also being a scientist pretty much gives you a free pass to be as eccentric as you want like you’ll be at a conference and it’s like “is that guy wearing socks and sandals and plaid pants???” “Ya but he was on the team that discovered gravitational waves let him be”

I once saw a highly-respected mineralogist take a slice of watermelon, put it between the two halves of a bagel, and eat it like a sandwich.

I can think of at least one odd personality trait of every single academic member of staff at vet school 😂

Hush

@forestandgalaxy for @poeticstories‘ Secret Santa (Sorry it’s late. I didn’t get the info until today)

Hush, little baby.

Don’t say a word.

Papa’s gonna get you a mockingbird.

Hush, little child.

Don’t make a sound.

Uncle’s gonna fix your dressing gown.

Hush, little girlie.

Don’t make a peep.

Grandpa’s gonna help you sleep.

[forestandgalaxy]

I enjoyed how the poem started with the lullaby and changed into something different...

Winter-Hearted

Winter has a

heart like cupped hands.

Clear-veined,

bowl-shaped.

She carefully collects treasures:

the thin ice at the edges of puddles,

winter-thick icicles, and

creek water, cold.

She adds in

sleeping acorns,

layered on top of

Christmas lights,

sunlight flowing through purple, green.

Gotham, Christmas Eve

No one says, you should move to Gotham.

No one says, you’ll love it here.

The humans who slink through my apartments, offices, alleys--

they live in my metal bones,

my skyscraper spine.

They live in 

my landscape

of billboards and orange sky.

It’s Christmas Eve in Gotham:

snow slush mixed

with grainy blue road salt,

bright olive green

ornaments the size

of humans heads

on the Christmas tree downtown,

upset customers

under signs advertising “The Magic of Christmas!”

But also:

Babs rests on the couch

at Wayne Manor,

letting the holiday party cycle around her in slow loops,

lit by light and shadow.

Cassandra decorates a cookie with

miniature chocolate chips.

Kate and Renee’s shoulders touch as

Kate lights

a silver, curving menorah.

Clark flies the star to the top

of the tree.

Diana tells her third battle story, gesturing,

His army was endless, but it didn’t matter.

Of course I won.

J’onn pulls another set of brownies from the oven.

Damien hangs candy canes on the tree,

fitting them between ornaments.

To the side of the fireplace,

Bruce says to Gordon, I’m hoping next year in Gotham will

be better than this one.

I think it could be, says Gordon.

I think it could be.

I think

it could be.
