Ever since I was a child
I've been fascinated with the world

My eyes, on their own, can't
see very far

But it didn't matter that I
wore glasses or had to squint sometimes

What mattered was that my bad
eye sight made me want to see things I couldn't

All things invisible and so
far out of our reach

I'm very quiet because I like observing
not just with my eyes but with my ears as well

I collect information as a sponge
does with water

Your words, your movements, your plain
behavior is everything I need

My brain looks for the pattern through it all
and helps me understand why things are

Science is the capitalized word
at the beginning of a sentence

It starts the process of exploring
the possible ways to end that string of letters

I don't know everything, nor would I be
able to in the span of my life

But I will forever stay that curious
child always wanting to see things I couldn't
