zeus takes chemistry


zeus is a god

he is capable of many

his lightning strikes

destroy the plenty

though now he is young

a high school student at most

he must learn to understand

he is not the host

he is almighty

the god of the sky

now he must say hi

to the written instructions of mrs.pie

he gathers his equipment

the lab is about to start

what does this bunsen burner have to do

with his heavy heart?

he is not used to chemicals

he only knows of rain

he speaks only clouds

and for that he is in vain

he is confused at first

but now he finally knows

what it's like to sit in a classroom

how to flow through his classroom

for he is the god of letting go
