more for me than for you,
at least you fell in love
for a few months anyhow,
being mammalian and captured by novelty,
the old instinct that strengthens the gene pool,
or was it privilege, vodka, and lust,
and isn't that the method afterall?
I say, let us praise science well-funded,
learning from failure on slate tables,
gobsmacked among beakers and laptops
to discover we really had nothing at all
to lose, double-blind and unpublished,
until this.
