Multicoloured Contamination

The Death of Science

By Dr. Alexandra SimondPublished 3 years ago Updated 3 years ago 1 min read

What is that formation?

Careful, it’s not the safest!

Multicoloured contamination –

says the bedroom scientist.

~

A special disinfectant can be used, but once in a blue moon,

if accidently touched, you morph into a pulsating rainbow cartoon.

When infected, a simple graze suffices

to pass along your vices.

~

Not only do you dare to scare,

you quickly appear to disappear – it still remains unclear.

~

During a full moon in February 2017,

I had this peculiar dream.

Was this a simple nightmare,

or was this more than the regular affair?

~

The coloured contamination that was spreading,

could it symbolize creativity?

Something of beauty that is dying,

in a field dominated by the patriarchy…
