Poor Bedfellows of Science

I've made a ton of t-shirt designs for sale!

The language of science is often mysterious, especially to non-scientists, of course. But there's also often a richness of imagery and sound that feels related to the poetic. A mouth feel that is satisfying. A rhythm that makes us notice and relish in its language. My friend, the film maker Terrance Odette, posted the title of an article noting that "poetry is everywhere." Well, that's a challenge I couldn't resist. So I made a poem playing with the sounds of this title. I mean, sure, heteropoly acid negolytes could enhance the performance of aqueous redox flow batteries at low temperature. Obv! That's what we've all suspected all this time, but isn't it true that "Follow-through is a poor bedfellow for the beauty of this testimonial"? Right? We poets bring the truths. 
 


a heteropoly acid negolyte that could enhance the performance of aqueous redox flow batteries at low temperatures

A heterophonic acorn negotiation that could entrance the perfume of aqueous redux flowerbed battleaxes in low temples wakes me early and I acknowledge what is negative could enhance the performance of lax tempest flukes over the bazaar of flowers. I feel glum-beckoned, filled by lackluster termites, actuarial fetus beaters addressed by a heteropoly of beanpoles.  The adaptible fold, tentacular flyover, adept at hectoring permanency. Follow-through is a poor bedfellow for the beauty of this testimonial. A flurry of admirable pessimists, assiduous foibles, beauts in the fog. How now adieu to the fond adhesive of low feeling? I have learned a heteropoly acid negolyte capability that could enhance the performance of aqueous redox flow batteries at low temperatures. Terrapins. Latent terns. Templates fractured by follicle beds, bearded in possibility. The acorn as the hereafter future in a fog of present tree. The heaping petticoat adornment thatching nonlachrymal thanks from adverbial beefs. Flower into flow, temperature into tempus fugit, acid into ascent.
