can you ***** my finger and measure the dopamine in my veins? collect my teardrops and tell me if i'm going to be okay? can you light up the darkness with magical pills? decide if i'm too sad to go to school? can you tell me if i'm just being melodramatic? measure my blood pressure, maybe that will work. write me a prescription for 5 Happy Days in a row, and 3 hugs from Someone I Love. doctor, doctor i'm not feeling well today doctor, doctor i don't know if i should stay sadness isn't a sickness, but it's infected my mind. can you write me some antibiotics to get them out in time? sadness isn't sickness, but i think i might've caught something from doing a little too much of Having No Friends. don't you know how much i've been Laying In Bed? sadness isn't sickness, but i think i'm coming down doctor, doctor i've got a severe case of the I Don't Want To Lives can you write me a prescription? make it go away? doctor, doctor you've let me down this time doctor, doctor i'm not in my prime can you tell that i'm not healthy? 'cause i don't think you can oh, sadness isn't sickness, but it's fatal, if all goes according to plan

Hunting has a noble heritage, for sure Bringing us together, it forged a species Keen-eyed, communicative, feared by the fierce                So who am I to begrudge you your sport? I, too, love wide open skies, tramping over bog and fen, I even quite like dogs! I imagine nature might reveal herself to you In signs jealously guarded from the armchair carnivore. I can almost reconcile your harsh percussion With the croak of the raven, the sloshing tide And the chewing and mooing of cattle. But the pheasant!  For the love of God, the pheasant? It can hardly be a battle of wits! I've seen him as he sits, a big, red bullseye On fences and ***** Startled by every day he survives. How stirring can it be, Picking off the ones the cars and lorries never got? When you carry him home, Better off dead, Hang him in your garage for a week Feeling like Henry VIII, Cut him down, slit him open and find the crop Stuffed not with heather shoots and beetles But with half a pound of store-bought grain (Generously laced with antibiotics) - I hope the realisation creeps up That you may as well have asserted yourself In the hen coop, Blasting away at befuddled poultry And saving yourself a walk.

The Pheasant
Strep throat. Out of nowhere really. I went to a meeting on Friday, interviewed at PaperSource on Saturday afternoon, and then just slightly later an awful toothache. I never suspected anything so out of the ordinary to occur. Saturday night, two to four a.m.ish, i thought it was caffeine pills, or not drinking enough water, or even, worst of the worst, an attack of hypochondria. I kept lighting up Marlboros though, tasty red branded things that make writer's mouths happy. Two days in and I'm pretty sure my ***** are a fever below my body, droopy like snoopy. Super soft droopy ***** that's a sure sign of a fever or a great BJ they taught us in 6th grade science, and I wasn't getting my favorite ice cream social. I hadn't talked to the gf in a couple days, and missing her company I made the phone call only discover that my voice had turned into a baby turtle shouting English from the bottom of a stuffed baked potato. Garbled. Discussing. Useless. I promptly hung up, and began texting. But it was too late she heard me and called back, and I had to give it all I had to put together a few words. An hour later I was dropped off at the ER, the benefits of Medicaid at 30 is never being able to just go to the doctor's office. Within 2 hours they told me it was strep. Four nurses, two residents, one first day resident, and a 2nd year resident, and the ER doctor for a swab and a spray, and the take home Z-pack. Then she said she'd come over even though I was sick. That's real love. "If I get sick from you, it's still worth it." 3 days on antibiotics, no more sore throat, I feel great- I think tomorrow I'll be having an ice cream social for someone who I love dearly. Maybe we'll even skip the ice cream.

Preventing contamination, A constant challenge in cell culture. Contamination not only affects, The culture in question and, Costs time and money, But also endangers the reproducibility of results. No cell culture problem, Is as universal as that of culture loss Due to contamination. Generally, contamination may be separated, Into categories of microbial, And eukaryotic contamination. Examples of microbial contamination include: Bacteria (including Mycoplasma), Fungi and yeast; Eukaryotic contamination includes: Cross-contamination with other cell lines. Bacteria, yeast and fungi, The three more common types of contamination, But luckily these forms are often detectable, Under the microscope and, By visual cues, Like colour or turbidity changes in the medium. Mycoplasma is a small genus of bacteria, That lack a cell wall and for this reason, They remain unaffected by common antibiotics. They are also difficult to detect, With standard microscopes, Due to their size, about 0.1 μm in diameter, And the fact that they often attach to host cells. To prevent contamination, Use 70% ethanol for disinfecting, Equipment & surfaces, Related to cell culture. Sterile filter the media first, Before bringing to the lab. Fetal Bovine Serum, A potential source of contamination, Contains mycoplasma. Filter it at 0.1 μm, or, Gamma irradiate it. Aseptic technique, Necessary. The laboratory workers be the last, But not the least source of contamination. Teach them the ideal laboratory practices, To ensure asepticity in a laboratory.

My sympathy depleted My friendships deleted I have been defeated By truths that hit so hard I was decleated By intense hatred deep-seeded My history was repeated I guess a three-armed mutant Has no need for a right hand man Until his leprosy riddled hands rot off When he needs them the most But his ***** limbs had been pretty useless for a while Since he had lost feeling in them He had to do a biopsy on his life After the inaccurate results of the smear test He took antibiotics to rid himself of the bacteria But that didn't heal the nerve damage He yearned for the rhetoric to be less inflammatory So he took steroids Transforming the ***** into an ogre With no semblance of humanity ...Except for the people he devours Their patience is delicious He eats that first Their pity is a delicacy A rare treat Their disgust tastes sour But it's a feast His cannibalism may seem callous But the non-mutant lepers take Thalidomide And get pregnant Their kids come out defected With an intense, deep-seeded hatred for three-armed mutants And lepers and ogres look exactly the same To those of another species

young love disgusts me like an infected cow’s mammary gland your milk is full of antibiotics and **** you drink it you like it, want more of it it wants more of you but it’s really just making you sick although nobody really tells you that you just drink the milk, easily satisfied until it makes your way through the digestive tract and destroys your newly infected insides

COW ****
In the dark of night, in the middle of a storm A dish falls, shatters A shriek tears the relative silence Pale pink blood blossoms in the water While rich red blood wells up in the hand Tears falling like a blinding waterfall Stabs and throbs of aching stinging searing pain Blood and pain and tears fill the mind A flash of white tissue beneath the torrents of red Panting sobs and hyperventilation Panicking as victim is rushed to the ER Mother tries to comfort daughter with story of healed, Previously lacerated toes Two words blurted between gasps of pain: NOT HELPING Arrive to an empty lobby, excepting a nurse and receptionist Focus on nothing, only the hand The possible tendon torn, the skin shredded, the blood spilt Dishtowel now soaking red irony fluid instead of clear soapy The story repeated 6, 7, 8 times A nurse asks if I smoke or drink A radiologist asks if there is any chance for pregnancy And for a moment I am shocked out of my pain into pondering The corruption of the modern generations, Such that I am asked these questions Any friend of mine would quickly tell that No, I'm not that kind of teenager... but how many are? Then I am whisked from the x-ray room Off for stitches, they say my tendon is cut That I need stitches The fingers no longer gush, but that triviality is soon remedied A doctor probes the wound for shards Nurse flushes it clean with chlorohexadine Both renew the flow Doctor returns, stitches both fingers and chats away Grand tally of five stitches, a splint, blankets of guaze, And a roll of medical tape Prescriptions for pain meds and antibiotics, both given A scoffing glance, but instructions are followed Forbidden from any activity with the right hand by my mother I struggle even to write, simple chores soon a nuisance First time the splint and stitches are gone, Doctor number two declares my hand usable First time the little finger bends, the half healed skin splits So all for a plate, a hand was rendered more useless

My philosophy as I drive down the road I don't feel bad if I don't feel it under my tires That means I step on spiders Swat mosquitoes Take antibiotics Life is not created equal When we live atop an ever shifting puzzle Where the value of life Is dependent on the ability to take life A virus's sole purpose is to attack host cells and reproduce So is our's I guess we'll see who kills who first Trees get larger trunks Animals get larger teeth Humans get larger guns And as those guns hold our hopes Humanity holds the hopes for all organisms To one day transcend competition But in the meantime I'm worried about the cracks in the road Because I can feel them shifting under my tires But there is cement on my wheels And on the vehicles around me We pave this road we travel on Until the cement runs dry And our vessel dies For newer improved cars to continue On the freeway to transcendence

Antibiotics may be the greatest discovery of human kind. Lord knows its saved our soul many of times! Its halo can be seen in a petri dish. In the smiles of children on hospital wards. But antibiotics aren't just drugs, or are you my drug? Because your halo is keeping bad things away from me, my petri dish is clean! Yet, the goodness is seeping from my bones and I get weaker with every day that I'm in love with you. To my antibiotic, resistance is futile but finishing the course might **** me.

Antibiotics.
Months have passed since I last seen your face, Touched your skin, the scent of your lovely purfume, Oh my, how I have longed for my lips to meet your once more... But I pinky promise myself No More, The aches and pains seem to supress day by day as I take leaps forward, Staying occupied and savoring the moments in My life, which seems to be the antibiotics to this so called "Heart Break," I made new friends and new potential lovers and you see me. You contact me to make conversation to keep me at arms length once more, But burn me once shame on you, burn me twice shame on me, You will not deceive me again, to leave me broken hearted once more, Medusa, I see through your stone cold eyes, I have worked to hard and made a promise I tend to keep, I tell you everything is fine, which it is since I have learned to live again without you. The love I had for you once upon a time is no more, But I will say this I Will keep the wisdom you have given me, I thank you for pushing me towards being a stronger person and lover, I just hope that what you did was worth it to you, As I give you words of advice I tell you, "Dont treat your next as your last, Or you will have no problem repeating the past," I see tears running from your eyes, As I can see the regret in them, As our eyes meet our lips meet once more, and you smile, The last words you heard from me as you watched my back this time around was, "I'm sorry, please take care of yourself but, No More." {RP}

Legislators of social stigmatization hand out identity before child birth, reluctantly judged by your pigmentation, you're given a name and a pew in a church, assigned to a gender with implications, while ATM balance determines your worth Bugs will certainly inherit the Earth Disguised as your neighborhood privacy invaders, cops kick in the door at your mother's front porch, enforcing law written by legislators for a routine seizure and search Police brutality couldn't mask the depravity of their warrants nomenclature Capitalist crusaders terrorize Americans, but can't keep the bugs from their Earth inheritance Men will shroud their evil nature Malicious intent hides below the glacier Camouflaged vindictive behavior is electing dictators across the equator Truth serenaders lobby for congressional persuaders to pardon these murderous capitalist crusaders, fitting agendas with tailor made suits, who infect Mother Earth deep in her roots Antibiotics couldn't heal or stop this infection these players gave her Pray for fire and fury to burn away worry when bugs surely crawl from the dirt to inherit what's left of our Mother Earth

Bugs Will Inherit the Earth
Cold n cough,cold n cough, very tough, very tough. caught on 16th december Amid  cold and thick fog cover. first made sore throat, Then made nose tight. In the night  robbed rest, That led to lose sleep the best. Tried  haldi-milk of grandma But  sleep was still away . Tried tulsi kwath of mama that led pass  the night anyway. In the morning nose started   Used the  wife's formula of Warm salty water gurggles As sun started setting down Cold n cough again  grown. Amid this   called to daughter She advised to go to a doctor. Doc  gave antibiotics n advised rest, O my god what a bad taste. You made recall  four generations , You're  great for those nice reasons. Lack of sleep led introspection That led scanning thought congestion That is why thanks  for coming,  For the  reasons of my inner cleaning. Forced to wear coat n jackets Paving  the way for hot snack- packets Reminded me to  stop sour & curd Start milk ,cheese and bread. One week surrendered to you, But still I owe a lot of you.

Cold & cough
Bottles of water, gallons of gas, blankets, dried beans, rice. Use cash, don’t spend it all in one place, two, or three. Unload supplies quietly into the basement, maybe at night. Mail-order a hand-cranked radio, solar lamps, seeds. Buy Q-tips, kerosene, candles. Books, downloadable music, seasons of X-Files on DVD. What’s important? Have friends bring you antibiotics from Tijuana. Buy vitamins, batteries. Tuna, salt, barley. Sweep the chimney. Get new shoes. Get that cavity filled. Stock up on bourbon and bullets. Acquire trade goods – cigarettes, wine, marijuana. Watch the news, read the blogs, find time for target practice. Keep cash on hand. Don’t forget dog food. Think about God. Hurry.

Shopping for the Apocalypse
We are a slew of antibiotics, genetically-modified foods, preservatives and dyes. Our bodies contain everything that doesn't exist in nature. No wonder why our grades are freefalling along with our pitiful economy. We blindly invest in the pollution of our food supply and environment by wolfing down Twinkies and Doritos. I implore you to eat what your grandma considers as food. Not Pop-Tarts. Fruit Gushers or Swiss Rolls but produce.

We Are What We Eat
pistachio nuts - or the clams of the the forest, not among the helter skelter birch tree scouting and marking territory, but among the aged oaks and pristine scents of pines among the fallen pine needles in zigzag promenade - indeed pistachio nuts like shellfish, slightly opened ergo healthy - clams or mussels, once opened then healthy for the palette - still a bewilderment to care with a hydrochloric acid cauldron that the stomach is - that's the prior bewilderment, the other being this madonna-whore complex that Anaïs Nin represents - i've eaten a prostitute's *** (her own anatomical definition) - indeed smothered in creams to ease a professional approach to a lack of relationship stimulation - science says that eating the female *** is like downing a range of antibiotics - i can imagine - why is she suddenly this hailed saint of scissors applied to a middle-class straitjacket? what the hell is going on? ah... i know, the longer a feeble secret is allowed to ferment, it goes from being vinegar to being wine to being a fruity ***** - well shiver me timbers! ever walk into a brothel with 7 prostitutes waiting their bus for £110 an hour and not feel intimidated asking for a glass of water? i have... they eye you like hyenas, a true spirit of solidarity that feminism forgot, 7 prostitutes eyeing you, then you say 'can one of your pick me?' 'you can't say that, it's not allowed!' 'oh, aren't you a talker, you'll do.' every single brothel i've been too always reminds me of Jack Daniels - i don't know why, the burnt auburn sweetness of charcoal or something, add the skin creams on the ****** smeared like an insomniac creating a synthetic approach to sleep with amitriptyline (25mg) and alcohol and you've just bought yourself a treasure island crucifix.

Here's to nothing; As always. Let us toast To petty jealousy and bitter betrayals That years nor antibiotics can cure. Let's drink to wasted memories and missed opportunties, and let's get drunk and do it all over again.

Barstool Conversations
Hey guys, I think this is more of a notice than a poem, But I got let out of the hospital last night after three hours of being on a respiratory machine because I was seriously struggling to breathe without any aid. All this because I had a severe throat infection that spreaded into my chest and effected my lungs. All thus just to tell you guys that this could either cause one of two different things. I could either: A) be soon taken back into intensive care where the WiFi is horrendous and not be able to make it back on here for the next...while (I don't for sure how long it's going to take for recovery, to be perfectly honest x) OR B) I'm going to recover enough to stay at home with several antibiotics to keep the pain bearable and have a nebulizer by my side 24/7 whilst still having a good WiFi signal so I can keep in touch with you guys. I'm really hoping that optionB will be the one that takes shape because you guys are part of my internet famalam and not being able to hear your lovely work day-to-day will tear me apart the most ** Have a blessed Sunday everyone, love you lots **

I don’t care about Religion! Or Antibiotics! Terror! Embryos! Poetry! None of it! I don’t care about the Chinese! The Americans! Christians! Jews! Muslims! Any Nation or Nationality! I don’t care about you! Or your feelings! Any other human! Inclusive myself! I don’t care about freedom or dictatorships. I don’t care about war or peace. I don’t care about the pollution. The ozone layer. The Panda Bear or any other endangered species. I don’t care about what you are thinking. Or for that matter what you say. I don’t care about stupidity or intelligence. F… arseholes. Clever thinking. I don’t care about ethics deals or moral principles. Mass ****** Genocide. Wrong or rights. I don’t care about the good life or the bad life. Blind black homeless or shabby white trash. Don’t care if you can read between the lines or not. Don’t care if you care or not. I just don’t care! It's all so insignificant to the whole ******* Universe!
