The bed is too big for us,
Who search hands and check on each other.
The apartment is too big for us,
Who eat sitting nearby and from the same plate.
The city is too big for us,
Who share passions and destinations.
The world is too big for us,
Who travel together and fight the two body problem.
Always calculated and never measured,
It tells us what to be.
Nobody is,
Together we are.
Chemistry is around me,
my coffe tastes so bitter,
thank you little tannins.
Biology is in my belly,
my bread has many bubbles,
thank you budding yeast.
I am a
Rigid and versatile molecule
Of thousands of units.
I vibrate in the liquid.
I catch and release,
Selectively.
I make your cells work
And progress.
Dots of unknown colour,
Stains of never-studied proteins
Are my medals.
On my chest and around my arm,
They Tell a recent story of fight and explosions.
Invincible in the way,
standing strong through the washings ,
A Memento of the past and a map to my future.
You try to follow
But cannot grasp the subtle logic.
A simple experiment
Marked my day and my work forever.
Will that results define me? My career?
Will this topic be me forever?
Changing road is hard,
when success strikes.
Finally out of the dog,
The project has got momentum,
I am not alone anymore.
My works don’t fall into the void,
The echo is lost,
Reasoning returns from they canyon.
Science is a community
Holding hands.
The big Windows let the sun in
And give perspective to my efforts
In the lab.
What seems massive and crucial,
Might be tomorrow forgotten.
Knee deep in my days,
I find comfort in a perfect plan
And lots of clean glassware.
The sun rises slow
And weak
In the cold mornings of walking solo.
My desk awaits me,
My family demands a warm hand,
My time is split
With sorrow and pride.
Your body whispers
A break is needed.
Reluctant and fearful
You move your body
while your mind conputes
and forecasts experimental results.
The coffee is warm
Yet fades quickly
In the run to a career.
