Catalyst... And What Goes With It

My return.

Reaction, 

and what goes with it. 

Streaks along the ice

that colour the

reactant. 

And if the overhead casts a pixel -- 

the "one" and the "only" shadow. 

For the reactor

keeps the "one"

at bay. 

And if occasionally -- 

and only occasionally, 

it bleeds when 

prodded 

May the burst not sour

the taste of the

"only" 

For the reactor is the one

who looks for it. 

The one who diffuses 

the reactant. 

And to question --

and only question

is blasphemous

For the reactor

to the reaction

is the only

reactant. 

Author's Note

I've been off and on for the past couple of months mainly due to the fall semester in University. I'm happy to say I am back to posting & reviewing regularly.

- As for the RR's , once again I let them replicate far to quickly. Im at 300, so Im thinking I'm going to get rid of those and start of fresh. Please send me some of your works if I have missed them in my absence.

- Also. The way I'm going about this from now on is, if you review one of my pieces I will review one of yours.

- I'm going to leave the meaning of this one up in the air a little bit. Tell me what you think its about.

love begets love, light begets light, smiles beget smiles, warmth grows to fill all the cold places, like helium balloons in the air...like oxygen dominos, reactors react to their input, I love love Radio head, and your choice of song for this poem :)

In a reactor, the way the elements come to respond to each other sets itself up as an act of nature. The same issues in man sometimes produces the same result that nature itself obtained. In nature it may give way to a new species. In man it brings to him a level of responsibility he may be new to. The lessons of the reactor to man are indeed significant. Welcome back Cole.

This seems to be wholly about the reactor, you possibly? Not sure. Regardless, nice piece and it's good to have you back. :) Was wondering where you ran off to!
