Baking pans and washcloths

the kitchen reappears in the lab,

Stephen's baking pans,

Jenny's wash cloths.

the garden appears in the lab,

germination mats and a humidifier,

as do the extension cords and timers.

we wrapped some wire shelving

with plastic, placed them all inside

and created the perfect humidity chamber

for my experiments

ignore the text from Stephen asking where

his baking pans are,

ignore the cold seeds and the dry rooms at home,

ignore the Christmas lights and their timer.

let science begin.
