Genetic Diatribe by Emily Reeve
Robert Hawkins
Four nucleotides.
For you the Big Links.
Adenine,guanine,cytosine, thymine.
Perfection in a binary computer.
All your on and off switches.
In you man controls, can extol.
But it closes the show.
Primordial soup from Big Bang.
Molecules thin.
Ten billion in a human hair.
Picture a book.
An encyclopedia perhaps.
Chapters one through twenty-three.
Now the letters are base pairs.
Of the spiral helix DNA.
Genetic letters used in combination.
That made you typical infinity.
Your human book was written.
You dear reader are alive.
As you read this.
What say.
Drop this reading for now.
Go have a good day.
Make the rest of the day count.

note; Don't you feel better?
Now you know.
Figured it out huh?
We had every confidence in you.
All the way.
You would figure out.
Your smarter than Bobby.
Damn bum.
