Light of my life
I remember your first life
Classroom lab
Teacher’s back
One second passed
More than oxygen flare
Or hydrogen pop
Experimenting without agenda
Warming the seeds of life
Petri dish flourish
Day after day
Because you set it alive
Your life beat made it thrive
Mine grew and grew
Nobody knew why
Bacterial overload
Running haywire
Talk of the class
Now you are poised
By my side
Awaiting my spill
To bring on your live side
Ever present in my lab
Taking me back
Peering in my own dishes
Waiting for the news story
You will be there again
When I report back
My discovery, real glory
This time, you will see
— it will really be me
"Experimenting without agenda
Warming the seeds of life
Petri dish flourish
Day after day
Because you set it alive"
