Childish Delight

Outsized ideas are full 

of words and images, 


tangled together, 

a myriad of balloons 


released into the morning air. 

To pick one thread, one string; 


to catch the most important one 

can seem, at first, impossible. 


Not to the scientists who see 

the possibilities.


They each take hold of 

any string and begin. 


“Touch a scientist and you touch a child.”

~ Ray Bradbury
