I reap the ashes
In silver spoons
Sustaining
The vermin
That crawl, deep within
They worm
Ever-thankful
In the grit of passersby
The ruinous mounds
Of wayward strangers
Charred, to a hopeless pulp
By spoonful’s
I thrive
Heartily gorging
On distant trials
In spoonful’s
I join the mad
Ensnared
By their every
Heartless whim

I never thought about chemistry in school
I never thought about silver as a general rule
Chemical element Ag is from the Latin “argentum” meaning “shiny or white.”
It is found in the Earth’s crust and is a conductor of light
The highest of electrical conductivity in the Earth’s pure might
Imagine this metal in its purest, free form in all of our sight.
An unexpected lesson in the glory and mystery
of the blue Earth’s vast and beautiful history
Now what about that “silver spoon?”
Its definition can be revealed soo.
It is a lesson in expanding our mind
to challenge, see what it can find.
Push yourself to find out more
That is what our lives are for!
