Hard candy

around the porch
small square dishes
trace elements

that pink skirt dephlogisticated
Caffeine lipstick

'Priestley (1774) subjected mercuric oxide to sunlight and obtained air that allowed candles to burn brightly and a mouse to breathe longer. ... In Priestley's own words, "I have discovered an air five or six times as good as common air." This "good" air, which accounted for about 20% of atmospheric air, he named dephlogisticated air.'
