INTERVIEW WITH DR. HARLOW

What do you taste in the morning when you lick your lips?

Are they soft or split, cracked by the Wisconsin wind? Do you

cover your mouth when you cough? With your elbow or your

hand? When the germs are floating through the air, do you

imagine where they land? How those minuscule microbes descend

with invisible parachutes? The power of gravity on weightless

spit? Do you smirk when they fall in your colleague’s coffee?

How do you make sense out of loneliness? At night beneath the

buzz of fluorescent light, do you unlatch the lock? Do you count

their inhalations as they sleep? Do you taste their morning breath?

The little bacteria floating in the air and landing on the tip of

your tongue? If it lands on your tongue, do you swallow it?

Can you tell me what it tastes like? Do you feel the microbes

twist as they sink down your esophagus? How does it feel

to watch them hold each other’s hands, their woolly

knuckles braided, the touch of their palms? What

do you do when the lock has been left open?

What do you do when they reach through

the cage? What do you do when

they stare at you straight in

your eyes and cough

in your open

mouth?
