the goo

the goo

A Chapter by Lyn Anderson
"

a lame attempt at sci fi poetry - thanks RAY - can I call you that?

"
White lab coat
splashed red
centrifuges singing
to an empty room.
DNA collided
spliced and divided
a new species
and
the one who
touted the
goo
as a solution
a revolution(ary)
new food supply,
lies on the floor.
she is missing an
ear, an arm, and a toe.
apparently
her experiment
got hungry
too.

not sure about this one, it was a stretch for me to come up with sci fi

Interesting, the title grabbed me, it reminded me of "The Stuff" a 1985 movie title, and also is so much in the theme of 1950 and 60s horror movie titles.
I stayed because this work takes a lot of risk, to contain science fact and fiction, relay a full story, and do so in the form of poetry. There is some excellent imagery, humor, and the structure is strong.

Okay now I see thank god!!!!
Certainly an unusual write. I read it twice to set the scene in my mind...a bit eerie. An experiment that ends up turning on its creator.....my goodness! Sci-Fi and Thriller all wrapped up into one. Splendid imagery! Lydi**
