--title from a poem by Robert Hayden

RNA or DNA polymerase, an enzyme, protein, attracted to promoter molecules in the polypeptide chain causing a zipper motion and transcription of the code, a duplication of codons, introns and exons, and so it goes, sharing and unsharing electrons. These attractions and repulsions, coming near and going far in nanounits or light years, fail to explain things permanently but make possible the technology to live long and well, with personality. It is a form of governance, the governance of elements, elements are now apparently our gods. Learn all you can about their laws, their names, their needs, read their poems. Only the mentally unusually sound would, given this knowledge, agree to the process of fertilization and mitosis. However, organisms go round then senseless via involuntary respiration. Therefore, Pilot Oh Pilot Me.
