back to the lab

Back to the lab
again
with broken test tubes
and compromised samples
but no matter
since data can be fudged
or ignored
altogether

A bag of marbles
displacing water
so that a centimeter
would submerge
anyone trying to breathe

My lab coat didn't fit
anymore
so I took it off
and just observed
all the suffering
in cages I locked
with animals
I was once kind to

Before the
fluorescent lights
stopped me
from seeing them
