Writing from the stemistry lab
A Rajesh for an Oliver
by Christopher Barnes
They once harboured flag-ships
That wafted spice, coals.
Now its just taxi planes
Tyne to New Delhi.
Pluripotent cells to milken skin
Profluent, rescinders of malignant growths.
No nano-whit is ever finger-slipped,
Suffered to be a drop in oceans.
