Tragicomedy in Lab

The class dissected the worms
looking for the circulatory system
finding the parts, the patterns,
constituents. critical. to cut.
They laughed out loud
at the chaos in their eyes
And they turned brooding
over the tragedy
of order
Still new, and splayed out
close enough to see the miraculous
and close enough to see the death.
