Syphilis, As Far As Strainers Go
Just a another material, passing through
From solution to centrifuge
Just like any other.Filter out the larger clumps
The hosts, not the subject itself
A small task, not even a critical one.
It could be done by hand
Or as part of the centrifuge being run.Perhaps held a little more carefully than usual.
Perhaps held a little more shakily than usual.Funny how it works.
To some, an anathema.
For others, it passes right through.

Inspiration: being annoyed at a “hard” prompt; figuring out how to make it not a special situation at all.
