Sciene and Knowledge

by Amy Belding Brown

Who knows what "sciene" is?
Some new-found scenery?
A recent-discovered
discipline of the academy?
Or maybe it's a scholar
whose name we haven't heard
one who studies hard-core knowledge
with a patience near absurd.
Or perhaps "Sciene's" reminder
to those of us who read
that English is transforming
at near-supersonic speed! ;-)
