Geology Psychology
©2003 Susan Noyes Anderson (poem only)
In Geology Psychology
each element is real.
First you excavate, then analyze
exactly what you feel.
Is it cold or hard or shiny,
satin smooth, sandpaper rough?
Is it dense or is it porous?
Pure, or mixed with other stuff?
Is the origin volcanic or
did it stay underground,
moving slowly to the surface
till the day that it was found,
acted on by heat and pressure
radiating from the core,
fiery source of all the hidden
answers we are looking for?
It’s Geology Psychology.
Each element is real.
And it works, if you can figure out
exactly what you feel.
