Heavenly Experiment

As laboratories go, this one
is supreme above all others, a
veritable crucible of existence
where experiments never stop,
as some unknowable force's curiosity
is spurred and sated. Time and space
lend themselves to the infinite
preoccupation. Entropy and flux,
chemical reactions, electrical
impulses, minerals and gases
intersect and interact, a never
ending drama of display and
surprise, suspense and discovery.
Today the laboratory was a study
in blue and white, illuminated by
a fiery ball of hydrogen as an
immense beaker of curdled milk
was upended, then spilled below.
