Bodkin or AWP?

Scientists are really weird. I was reading about Isaac Newton,
for example. How once he inserted a bodkin into his eye socket,
just to see what would happen. Another time he stared at the sun.

Now, okay, that's pretty strange. I was thinking
how poets don't do stuff like that.

But then I thought about AWP . . .
Suddenly a bodkin didn't sound so bad.
