The Dye in Doritos Can Make Mice Transparent

clears throat 

 

The future is guesswork, the past not apparent.

The things we all ‘know’ disappear in a tide.

The dye in Doritos can make mice transparent.

 

Our blood teems with plastics minuscule and aberrant.

The burn-drowning world cries out to abide.

The future is guesswork, the past not apparent.

 

But gene therapies heal sicknesses that weren’t.

As cancer increases so new treatments stride.

The dye in Doritos can make mice transparent.

 

Researchers lost as in amber to semitransparence.

Brilliance marginalized in footnotes to hide.

The future is guesswork, the past not apparent.

 

It’s not magic, not fiction, but still powerfully inherent.

What saves us destroys us; what frees us is tied.

The dye in Doritos can make mice transparent.

 

An age of wonder and horror the seeker has eyed.

Mind over matter, but the matter won’t mind our pride.

The future is guesswork. The past, not apparent.

The dye in Doritos can make mice transparent.
