How many ways can heat
move from one form
to the other?

Friction, the brute force
of two objects
joining in unison
from one to two.

Was that the method of dance
of the two lore torn lovers
I saw down by the river,
their eyes encapsulated by
the frictions of their union?

Maybe inversion, the process
of one becoming the other.
Like the old man who moves with her grace
forever transformed from what he once was
to her eternal grace?

Dunno much about the operations
of the union of two or even more,
guess this ain’t a seek n find kind of problem
or maybe it's the greatest of all pursuits of scientific process…

Do you think we ere armed with any better
place to start the quest then our parents
or their parents or
their parents parents?

For all of the progress due to
the adaptation of science to the human
endeavor, why is it that matters of the heart
are still in the archaic caves of the past?

Maybe, induction is the only process
where love will roll
with the shadows dancing in our cave…

let us fumble together
and see what we discover.
