Poem #3: Bloodpower
Don’t worry, they said. For I’ll be doing something amazing for science.
Relax, they said. This won’t hurt at all.
My blood, they said, is of a rare chemical makeup.
Perfect, they said, for harnessing electricity.
Lie down, they said, on the comfy white rectangular bed.
Close your eyes, they said. And I did.
This is marvelous, they said.
My blood, they said, was powering up an alarm clock.
More, we need more, they said. For this is a scientific revolution.
Wait, no, I said. They were just to take a little of it.
Relax, they said. We won’t take all of it.
Close your eyes again, they said. And I did.
Do it, they said. And they did.
Don’t worry, they said. For I’ll be doing something amazing for science.
