Atom Transfer and Eve's Apple
Radical
Polymerization
A simply stated analogy
Grandmother's bowl of waxed
Plastic fruit sitting on her
Dining room table
Waxing
Nostalgic
Centerpiece
Proudly displayed
Religiously bagged for
$5.99 at Hobby Lobby, God's
Garden of Eden a bag of sixteen
Artificial apples bananas and grapes
Of wrath
Retributory
Punishment for
An offense of a
Crime prettied up
In a polymer metaphor
But what
Of Eve's Apple?
Designed to conjure
Illusions and take control
Of human minds biblical mythology
Polymer morphology
Uranium in seawater
Absorbent fibers for the
Recovery via atom-transfer
Radical polymerization ATRP
If you
Want to live
In the new world
Order of fakery
Give up
Your habit
Of questioning
Everything as opposed
To being rational
Fakery
Is all around
Us so clap for
A performance you
Despised and smile
At someone who stepped
On your toes the sore joints
Are fakery too
