poetic lab rats

they
weigh us at birth,
at
death.
our life is a list 
of measurements.
height,
the length
of us.
our
days
and weeks, years
are
numbered, soon to be
engraved.
our blood
pressure
is recorded somewhere,
our blood type
in a tube
is spun
and analyzed.
we are lab rats from
start to
finish
and then we're gone.
