REACTION 
 


Water vapour
condensed,
pooled and ran,
the pressure build
causing grey smoke
to twist
and mist
the glass.
Inside,
a seething;
a bubbling turmoil;
slowly distilling
and driving off spirit.
 
After,
they turn a key,
unhook a hosepipe,
the 'catalyst',
a girlfriend,
finds out
from his family.....
