Crystals cling
To a string
Like lollies on threads
from our test tube factory
made,
from all natural ingredients
hot water and salt
stirred not shaken
to escape the heat
they climbed
now they sit in rows like pearl necklaces
that we’ve made
as part of our experiments
if they were dropped into the sea
they would be used as dental floss
for a crabs sharp nippers
