Life Science

Currently in science, we are learning about body systems. The muscular. Skin, and skeletal systems are things we have gone over. We are going to have a test over them soon. We have just recently done a lab, it was chicken dissection. This is a link of the basic procedures we did. Cutting the skin of a chicken is actually quite hard, I had to have my teacher help me. I’m not sure I am looking to anymore dissections.

I am from…(poem)

I am from… Anish R.

I am from under the Ping-Pong table

from stashes of Trader Joe’s chocolate and Maggi

I am from a 2-story single family home

the burning incense

I am from the green belt

the apricot tree
whose branches
had no fruit that hung

I am from pizza Friday and yearly Sunnyvale trips

from Kajal and Anirban

I am from cheesy puns and mind bending riddles

and from daal chawl

I am from “Maybe later.” and “Are we there yet?”

and Listen to The River

I’m from California and India

but Chinese and Italian food

from Kali Das, the man who hurts himself

the billboards of mementos

pinned against the gallery walls

and hidden posters stashed in my closet

kept captive for myself
