Sidi Mahtrow Poems

In the elevator in the midst of winter
One doesn't expect the smell to linger
...

Where ever Yellow Cat was
MoJo, the bear-like dog, was sure to be
Mostly asleep
But always ready to go.
...

Why doesn't a woman wear a hat?

On the wall, closet or shelf
A man has hats to please himself.
...

Energetics

Energetic of a single electron
A family of electrons swarm
...

Took a seat next to a friend in the bar.
Greeted him with 'Hey'
To which he replied, 'Yeah'.
And we sat quietly sipping our beer.

They start out small
And fuzzy
Something playful
Then they grow
...

When you chase a rabbit
(The rabbit, of course, isn't there)
But until one tries to catch it,
You don't know or even care.
...

Do you remember that girl
Walking stooped and bent in a curl
Trying not to show that she
Was much taller than he
...

Some fingers have a special place
In which they often race
As only one can be
In the opening you cannot see.
...

Rosalind Franklin. Ever heard of her?
The un-famous chemist that caused quite a stir.
'Twas the discovery of DNA's helical structure
That Watson and Crick stole from her.
