I tasted the candles

I tasted the candles 
when I was already far 
too old for such mouthy
works & experiments: ten 
twelve,
definitely not eleven but

probably four. I would 
seriously 
bite anything red 
that could take a tooth, but see 
SEE? 

I already knew science. 
The word. I knew what 
it was and it has never 
altered from that: one
observation, 

lifelong
and a test
to disprove 
in deliberate
aimed intent
every thing you found 

to believe about how 

a human being 
could be

brutally 
reduced
to a light
