Scientifically speaking

Again we work with the Wordle. I actually had a bit of a tough time with this one, though the words were enticing. This is what I came up with though.

Observe, Reason & Record

His lips the spoon
that cooked my fix
have lost the capacity
for elocution.
Replaced instead by a heat warped
8-track spewing a rancid coagulate
of vitriolic accusation.
The hitch in his breathing
once sweetly salacious
now a signal of his coarse revulsion,
and amid the bustle of my homeward thoughts
I absently reassure him,
"Relax. It was just a fling."
Anger heats to a primal froth
Ceramic rains down
as drywall yields to force
and I sit
examining my fingernails.
He and I
anode and cathode
together a diode
illuminating our fundamental function
of energy traveling
in only one direction.
