                Who gives a damn
                about
                Any of us?

                Not God - This place is but a
                        Petri dish,
                                and we -
                                        contamination.
                        Someday, we might
                        be noticed, long
                        enough for a reaction -
                                        sterilization.

                If we escape this culture,
                Drastic Measures
                would be taken:

                        Perhaps a
                        program of         
                                           innoculation.

                Sickness such as ours must be contained,
                        or the general health
                        might be impaired

                From one microbe to another
                        let me say,
                        then,
                        What does it matter?

                Have you no faith in penicillin?
