Writing from the stemistry lab

A-tishoo! A-tishoo!

About this author

From their egg donor
The big pot blood relations
Have quashed the inadequate
Sciencing skin-deep Darwinian surprise
    — lip-gaping ears, unreconstructed noses —
They’ll splatter like abscesses
When the actinomycosis mutates.
“We all fall down.”
