Experimental Art

Most students have their preferences of jobs they’d like to do.1
Unlike those kids, I flounder between one career or two.2

On one hand, I aspire to an Ivy League vocation:3
professor of the sciences in higher education.4

But like noble amphibians that thrive on land and in the stream,5
I’ve got another world of which I like to gladly dream.6

Some say that it’s abnormal; my affections are exclusive.7
In science, they say, emotions are something quite elusive.8

My systematic brain says I can span the two dimensions:9
science book procedures and painting skill conventions.10

Quite flexible, I switch between a microscope and brush;11
I find that others tend to choose and stick with only one.12

That renders me what science calls a special rarity—13
like a fossil that still frolics or an unknown masterpiece—14

Where one wants inspiration, a force that’s quite profound,15
the other needs analysis to prove its facts are sound.16

Teachers say they’ve never met a kid who overlaps17
a love of science with a flair for portraits, arts, and crafts.18

But to me, art seems like science; they are singular; however,19
science, at its best, is quite a beautiful endeavor.20
