an experimental poem,
if irreproducible,
is of no use whatsoever
to science
so set your words up clear
don't ask what we're trying to prove here,
pal
we must leave preconceptions, well
behind us
lay out your tests, with strong controls
let theories be predictable
but don't massage and flatter facts
let all the chips fall where they will
yes, let the truth destroy your goal
take detailed notes as hopes dash down
the question wasn't really asked
unless the answer made you frown
