he was a musicologist, and it was something about one of the classical music TV programs of the 1950s, like ā€œThe Voice of Firestoneā€ or that kind of thing it was related to his academic work, but still

In Praise of Vaginal Flora 

Picture them blooming, wonā€™t you.
Let the view grow very fantastic.
Usher in a mood of crazed abundance
and go full fractal zoom;
go dream-sequence psychedelia.
Flood the scene with hot pinks,
turquoise, tints of lime. Place the word
lactobacillus in your mouth and run
a tongue across its teeming frills.
Visualise the sweet, shrill fruits
of gardnerella vaginalis then receive
each note of rose, sherbet, candied peel
with the rapture they deserve.
I am asking only that you apply your
best fancy to the matter.

Kate Wakeling is a writer and musicologist. A pamphlet of her work, The Rainbow Faults, is published by The Rialto and recent poems have appeared or are forthcoming in Poetry Review, Poetry London, The Stinging Fly and 14 magazine. 

Note on ā€˜In Praise of Vaginal Floraā€™:
ā€œI canā€™t remember when I came across the term ā€˜vaginal floraā€™ ā€“ the microorganisms that colonise the vagina and maintain its good health ā€“ but I immediately enjoyed the images the phrase conjured up. On starting the poem, I liked how the term invited a certain florid style of writing and I also liked how this might chime/jar nicely with a subject that would likely quietly repulse 
a quantity of people.ā€

Yes, that's a truly great thread. I didn't know there was a threadreader of it or I'd probably have used it. Though the musicologist on the NPR piece makes the point I wanted to make about broader culture. Thank you!
