EMBRYONIC FLUID

I saw a speck fall into my coffee cup
just as I was about to tip it up
It floated there and then sank
to the bottom of my cup… so dank
With a spoon I chased it ‘round and ‘round
No luck so to the sink… it… I took
and with a sigh I considered… then dumped it down
but not before I heard the cries…
as all on that small world screamed and drowned…
