Microscopy

#1 Post by DonSchaeffer » Tue Apr 13, 2021 7:33 pm

When I make the first cut
it looks like I'm slicing a grapefruit.
I rip into the flesh and the water flows
all over the glass. Then I begin
scraping the bubbly skin
which splits into shards on the puddle surface.
I want to make the gelatin solid,
take away most of its natural character
and claim it is something else,
making it dry and flat.
Then I look into it's insides
pretending it's the surface
of an alien planet and I've
travelled deep and long to reach it.

A rare form of pot that gets absorbed through the retina.

You are right in making me think that the exploration of the very small can be every bit as exciting and wondrous as the exploration of the very large. And look at that. In the end of the examination of the very large they will find it necessary to examine the very small.
Its a great hobby.

You got that right Tom. Why is this forever expanding?
A budget buster.
