Writing from the stemistry lab
A cream bun
by Barbara Gordon
From time to time you come across something
That makes your heart pound, your senses shiver.
It’s bad for you, but good for you.
The ballet of resistance is futile
But you do it anyway
Before surrender.
Genetically modified wheat.
Stabilised cream, delicious E numbers.
Exquisite anticipation.
Greedy consumption.
Succulent organisms.
Luscious DNA .
The artifice and illusion of
Fantasy food for the masses
