I am standing very still
No noise here …
But, I began to cry
At the sounds of the microbes
I thought, I heard
Not wanted to die
I experienced the death of an E.coli

Melting fast, not wanting to die
I experienced the death of an E.coli
Shrinking, unpigmented, and so,
Its colors just went by …
Awake from your silly sleep old E.coli

Today, is not your day
Too much pain you caused
But, today I will bring you to life
Come from the dead
Awake from the deep sleep

Old E.coli-
This is an old experiment
Today, once again
I will bring you
To life …
This is indeed
An old experiment
Today, I shall bring you to life

I’ve a friend in her hospital bed
In Osceola, Florida
With an E.coli ESBL
From an UTI
Sepsis kicked in
Eating lower part of the spine, the sacrum
Fusing S1 through the S5
Causing a disc herniation

A triangular bone
How to repair?
How to defuse a pain to go away?
When antibiotic Meropenem
A carba …
A carbapenemase as is …

Unable to seal this bone
Corrective action?
Surgery as was revealed from MRI
Yea, surgery as was revealed from an MRI
Bone eaten due to an ESBL, an E.coli

Could 2nd infection kicked in
A nosocomial bug?
A polymicrobial superbug?
Am praying for a not
Let’s knock this bug
To outer most space

As a our dear God
Protects my BBF ..
Yea, He will protect my best friend!
