Here's a poem I wrote for Valentine's Day (no particular person, sorry). Enjoy the clever nerdyness!

With All of my Cardiac Myocytes

You send me an SMS and my SNS starts to fly

When you are around me, you deflate my alveoli

Beauty is in your genes, constitutively expressed

Even in your scrubs and mask, I’m totally impressed

You give me tachyarrythmias when you try to call

It’s not safe to think of you without taking propranolol

As you are you don’t need botox, silicon or surgery

You are perfect to every integrin and cyclic A M P

Your smile is by far my favorite phenotypic trait

But also your ASIS and immaculate gait

If you were a cardiac interval, you would be a QT

You’re more valuable than a surgeon’s salary

When you feel depressed and want to sit and cry

I’ll lift you up inside like the levator ani

I’ll treat you out to dinner and treat you when you have the flu

I’m a practicing specialist and it’s in is pleasing you

I wish we were paired chromosomes, with ties no one could sever

Then we could be in metaphase, from now until forever.

I have a U-linked mutation and it’s in my DNA

Could we link like tight junctions just for Valentines Day?
