All it takes is a sample of society
slicked smooth sliver of it really

The petri dish swarming in spilt blood
Cannot cure itself of the
lust for more blood.

Still the physicist tries to

Hands
Clasped
Desperately
at the beaker in prayer,
Cut glass poking through the flesh
of their
very last hope.
