John Randall in Kings,
I was smart.
Physics, Chemistry, Biology,
PhD, Diffraction, Crystallography.
I split water-
a living Moses,
leading my people to freedom,
and found the holy grail:
Photo 51.
My beautiful creation filled with greys and
weaved a cross pattern that showed
Two Separate Wholes.
We could exist in two forms;
separate, distinct, divorced.
But you forced one;
twisted, hereditary, genetic.
Unpublished, unknown,
My little secret–
but only for a while.
If only I knew.
And then they announced it.
The Noble Prize,
a crooked gold coin,
given to two crooked gold men.
But they’ll figure out the truth- the real truth –
You know it as well as I do.
You told them after my death.
Say. My. Name.
– Sylvia
