D.N.A.
my breath becomes a secondary
attempt at the love
we all know
as a way to speak to one another
again
the trees wonder with
new feet
on better soil
whilst laughing
and as
the cacti that
makes us breathe
air
should give an old perspective
that should mean a bit about
how we became easy
yet our
shooting forward
parfait of life
needs
a 200 story building
to show ridiculously how
the best structure
is man's
other than
the meaning of 23 chromosomes
alleles and allegorical
myths
should mean more than this
and if somehow
my breath should become glass
and steel
and platininum
as
if our feelings towards one another
were manmade
beginnings
of empathetic
hospitalization
towards a plastic bandage
newly created
and then
placed over a
faked-out-sterile-presence
thereby
reaching for a god
that states everything
except for the fact
that i miss you
and want you
right here
and now
in the midst of my
genome
soul
