Popov sat there in her office
Looking like Kathleen Danna
In a XL columbia jacket,
reminding me of someone

at University of Oregon at Eugene
who always stole the lab book
And next to a picture of Putin
Which had a bunch of question marks
on it

Like what is going on here.
She thought, and didn't really want to go back to
St. Petersberg.
It was early in the day

next to the Columbia river.
"Time to make a big mess."
she said. and released 10
chickens into the chicken coop

there by the backward warehouse
with the beloved RAF protein
Stan came in.
"VEGFR1 SOS RAS RAF MEK ERK FOS JUN"
he said.

and all the people were put away
there in Portland or had small houses
who wrote poems
depending on their success by now

all worshipped God and James Mercer
of the Shins that did that by now who
watched MTV who were in their 30's or 40's
in LA and British Columbia, when they got there

But how to stop the actions of RAF
Popov wondered.
How do you actually do it?
She called Iaa in, and then Mary.

"You mean, Mary, you got a degree in biochemistry
from U of Melbourne at Monash and you can't do this?
Popov murmured as she thought she was Godlike for discovering
a way for eggs to made raf
But then Popov humbled out.

"I'm not much, I can give you two years with Leif here
to discover this."
Mary said "Three."
and the deal was done

A sheep dog named Roxy barked.
The yolk from the chicken eggs was put into
the columbia river
Someone named Jenniffer exclaimed

"How could you do such a thing?"
And popov sat there next to her
picture of Putin with the question marks.
"Sue me" she said.
Ah, this all over again.

But nothing really dangerous really went
into the Columbia river,
from what I could tell,
it was just those that came after Popov
in word and deed that were actually dangerous,
thought the Vancouver Wa judge
