In-Vitro
A poem-in-vitro is a slick and foamy thing
That will try to slink (or sink) away
So catch her quickly as she breaches, corral her
Across neurons like a schoolboy, wayward
By the ear.
Then drag it to the sunlight stage. That concrete cage.
Of language limpid, livid, living, liquid—
A place of permanence…
Where the ephemeral
Can play
If you but catch a fleeting fraction
Your poem may yet stay
Slick as a newborn calf
On its wobbling way
