Microscope

Imagine you're sitting on a microscope

Light above and light below

Light where you never wanted light to go

Light- tell me darling, does it set your heart aglow?

Tell me darling, is it hot or is it cold in here?

Now imagine you're a cancer cell

And imagine I am one as well

And we're killing some poor person with our strength and our perversion and a scientist Is staring through our bodies and she's plotting our demise

Tell me darling, can you look me in the eyes?

Now imagine you're the scientist

And I before you- silent, small, and viscous

Suspended in a moment on a slide inside your lab

Imagine you can see my secrets

And you'll use them all against me

And I'll lie beside you naked and you'll lie there looking through me

And I'll kiss you

In the hallway

Assuming that you know me

The next day

But I'm not under a microscope, and you don't really care

I'm glad there never was a microscope, and you're still there
