very nice! as the computer teacher in an elementary school and developer
of curriculum at the district level, as well as a doctoral student, and
researcher,
i often find myself in this situation.
your articulation of this method/approach/perspective

i succumbed to early cultural conditioning and avoided science classes
like the cooties when i was younger and so am sorely lacking in the tools
and metaphors of science (outside of chaos theory and quantum physics
which i understand as poetry).

. . . could float, of course,
but would rather
plumb rough matter.
Airy and shapeless thing,
it needs
the metaphor of the body. . .
