The Big Green Stain

Spring semester at university

Fingers stained malachite green

In the lab in microbiology

Wore stains proudly around campus.

Never missed a class.

Professor’s notes on chalkboards

Started to make sense.

The green stain grew larger and brighter.

Made some lectures fuzzier.

Science poser; lab puzzler.

Your guess is as good as mine. I had no idea where this poem was headed. Perhaps the poem is about what most college students face, becoming either a serious student or a pothead.
