This cell culture resembles off-white cake
icing stamped with myriad micro-seals,
like embossed mini-moon surfaces. Take
a closer look at what the screen reveals.
See those three dark-auburn flakes, lying like
rust flecks on an old linen cloth. Yes, they’re
grainy like small anthills. They live and strike
only in human cells, cause the water
discharge like weak milk from your penis, your
swollen testicles. We’re lucky to find
it before eight weeks, your safety tenure
before going sterile, or even blind.
And you possess symptoms, for men endemic.
Most women? No. The “Silent Epidemic.”
