Short Genome Poems

A kindred spirit
Adding to my heart's genome
Yet to understand
The evolution you cause
I can sense good intentions...

This little piggy went to market
     This little piggy stayed home
     
     This little piggy came clean at a press conference
       Confessed, "No matzo balls in my genome"...

Dancing trees slope of berries glowing fruits
Hoping caters eclipse of roses showering falls
Swinging hands genome of leaves weeding grains
Twirling trumpet log of woods singing moons...

It was an outrage.
The weaver on the 
loom was brutalized.

A design was raped.
The color screams,
I want to live.

Septicaemia spreads.
Time to be ashamed, 
when your gut was removed.

The salt hurts on 
the bitten lips. A 
genome falters.

Let me try to define- 
who we are; and 
where we are going.

The arch
in the targeted killing
was the bet when you
lost your virginity.

A slow dance
at the cold river of flesh,
with genitalia wiped off.
I was constructing-

your genome
from you saliva. Prayer 
was a form of begging
before an unpardonable sin.

The gradient
parting the hills will
find another arena
to start the game.

human turret son
gun syndrome
genome thunder dome

range lightning rain
night sky of 40 grain
splendid caliber

X caliber

plink to think
dinky clinks
tiny echoes

bricks, all clear

fire flies
barrels of varying sizes
armorer princess prizes

she goes all .223/5.56
flash suppressed
range without a roof

took her rounds
now she frowns
tell her later

give them back
after dinner...

<> The human genome consists of 20 000 paired genes… about…

<> During meiosis, gametes are generated by randomly swapping genetic material… let's shout…

<> 2^(20 000)  = 10^(6 000) possible sperm (proud of daddy)… boy scout…

<> 2^(20 000)  = 10^(6 000) possible ova (proud of mommy)… far-out…

<> 2^(40 000)  = 10^(12 000) possible zygotes… freak out…

<> 1 zygote in 10^(12 000)  = Improbable Me… no doubt!

Tryst with enemy
bakes the earth.
I am standing firm on dust of times
with rising threat. In vloaks, under the fading
moon they had come,
plundered my yard of truth and blackened
the face of an ancient statue of sun god.

The terror walks on streets
sequencing the genome of unborns
in womb; soot was settling in the lungs
of windows. Tomorrow night word by word
memory will be mauled, uncovering
the pyramids of fear.

octopus, as I study you
your geneology is not tried and true
alien DNA is what you have, my friend
i wish could talk to clear up this trend

your extensive genome has great complexity
with thirty thousand coding genes, you outrank me
are you from mars, venus or is pluto your extension?
your problem-solving skills are beyond my comprehension

octopus, as I study you
I am confused, what can i do?
who can I ask?
maybe only you....

proclivity to get in sight of
  the finish line
Just to shoot myself in the foot

Ancestraly handed down generations 
upon next
misguided  to safely stay put

Regardless of condition in situ
As I reach for
 dreams that beckon afar

The lesson engraved on my genome
don't  be silly
Who do you think you are

Do it anyway after all what's the worse
that can be said
As you buck this curse

See, we told you so
You never learn
We sent you to school for your books to burn...
