Still in Cryo…

…. still freezing…

Winter is going

Waiting in the dark to be chosen

Then separated from each other

We are carried through the lab in our liquid home.

Compounds are chosen to test our lifespan

Settled in ice until they thaw

Then weighed in lethal quantities.

Slowly doused in poisons

There is no escape

Locked in to be spun

Then incubated

We are stacked ready for viewing

And scrutinised to see who has survived
