poem “Would you like some Cesium with your honey?”, Twitter-=length Periodic Table poem about the isotope Cesium-137,a byproduct from nuclear fission, although it blankets our atmosphere from past Cold War nuclear tests around the globe, is actually found 100 times more in honey produced on the East Coast of the United States - and the reason for this is that the soil is low in Potassium, and since molecularly Cesium-137 is somewhat similar to Potassium, all the plants leach the Cesium-137 out of the soil while growing, By Chicago Poet Janet Kuypers

Would you like
some Cesium
with your honey?

on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Tumblr
Cesium-137
from nuclear fission
blankets our sky
after Cold War tests
it falls globally
but a U.S. professor
found East Coast honey
had 100X more Cesium-137
for low-potassium soil there
means plants soak Cesium instead
from plant nectar to bees
voilà
a sweet radioactive treat
