Spirochete

Let methylene blue consume

the micro bacteria on my slide. 

Let autoclave roar, and incubator fill

With the humidity of 37 degrees C. 

Let white coats come clean. 

Let curious minds devour 

the spirochete formation. 

Let black ink fill a blank page

With various procedural protocols.

Let white coats come clean. 

Let professor’s lectures ingest 

The entirety of Friday nights. 

Let hearts recover from the turmoil

With lab practicals on minds. 

Let white coats come clean. 

Let goggles imprint marks upon face.

Let water bottles stay outside the door

Where they are sure to be forgotten. 

Let the white coats come clean.
