Murky pond, full of frogs and phage
Abnormal cell division, progression through each stage
Shiny clubs, polo shirts, a landscape glitters green
Insidious destruction reflected in the sheen
Superficial beauty and a latent 1,3-D
Sickeningly sweet, a muffled, muted plea
Mind on equal par—not chemotherapy
Crystal pond, not full of frogs or phage
Unaware a much worse game is being played
