For today's prompt, write a science poem. Science encompasses a lot, so your poem doesn't have to be scientific to still be a science poem. For instance, you could have a poem titled something like "The Science of Love," and then examine a relationship. Voila! A science poem! Of course, it'll be interesting to see how many poets talk about volcanoes and single cell organisms, not to mention finding out how many "mad scientists" are out there.

if they say no two bodies
can occupy the same space
at the same time
then i know we defied
the laws of physics last night.

sir isaac newton is obsolete.
we need a new hypothesis
a new theory
ground breaking research
for how could i be so close to (in) you
last night?

if they say a body in motion
stays in motion
then there are stones
left unturned
because i know
gravity was rendered archaic
since i never came down
even after falling falling falling
in love with you again
and again.
