Did you ever think that when you smell something good <br />Like roasting coffee or cedar wood <br />Or baking bread or sweet perfume <br />That actual molecules are floating around the room? <br /> <br />That very fact has got me to thinking <br />It also applies to things that are stinking. <br />Like dead dogs and people passing gas <br />And other things that are very crass. <br /> <br />All giving off a particulate smell <br />Which I could do without very well. <br />I hate to think of scents such as those <br />Going into my lungs and up my nose. <br /> <br />Life is full of that kind of duality <br />Heaven-Hell, love-hate, kindness-brutality. <br />It’s just the balance of nature and that’s a fact <br />To keep everything even along the track. <br />Best not to think of that stuff, my friend <br />‘Cause it will all even out in the end.<br /><br />George Hunter<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/aromas/
