NaOH + HCl, H2O2 + Mg2, and other stuff I don't remember, acids and bases, alkalines, chlorides, tetra something or other, ferrous stanneous, molar concentrations, ZnCO3 + 2H -> Zn + H2CO3, drawn straight from a book, not the memory, not the mind, things once long ago, could be understood? could they? skill sets learned, broken down, stored, like a crossbow, like a gun from In the Line of fire, but chemistry, the mixing of elements, of compounds, from 2 simpler ones to a greater one, from 2 compounds to 2 different compounds, where energy is released, where there is a driving force of thermodynamics that makes the stuff join, mix, recombine their energies into different things, changed by the other, thermodynamics = destiny, it's fate, it's not stars aligning, nor planets in a row, the spark of romance, maybe really is a spark, a release of energy as two bodies fit, come together, and find a state of being, that fits, that works, that requires less energy, less work, less of everything, where the honeymoon phase of romance is the burning off of excess heat, not before entering a cold and dreary winter, but a state that can absorb more energy, that such things become batteries, that hold energy, conserve it, but there are also those other reactions, man made, only possibly under the right conditions, even need the use of catalysts, that with the slightest tweak, break apart in a flash of light, man made, used in weapons of mass destruction, but i want the reaction, with the release of energy, the heated test tube that grows warm in the hand, the chemistry, and zing, the surprise and smiles, the electricity, yeah, hell yeah.
