Ok I have to do a poem for my English class tomorrow. We do like these mini presentations and I have to pick a song, poem, or book that I like well I wanna do a poem. It has to have a theme to it and I found this one that I like but I can't really figure out what it is saying I have an idea but I can't explain it. If someone could help within a few minutes it would help alot! Thanx!
The Scientists Explain
They don't know what they're doing
sometimes. They look down a theory
with a cool smile and don't see the smoke
rising in premonition; how, afterward,
the numb body of the world
sprawls in a kind of a confused poetry.
They come right out and say: Neptune,
planet where diamonds rain.
They might as well say Milk:
source of everlasting life. Or Air:
conveyor of all knowledge, or Rain:
Earth's milk and we, never weaned.
It's like a joke we've been dying to hear
and when someone finally tells it,
standing at the bus stop, or buying cigarettes,
we can't stop repeating it. It's the way we would
have this life work: methane's extraordinary blue
up there, gigantus blue cloud
dropping its carbon-carbon-carbon-carbon beads
off a necklace that will never restring,
lost baubles left to their own drift, just like our nine.
