Part
Three:
Genes do not find
favor or preference in inhabiting a fichus, redwood, or bonsai tree
Compared to a
mussel or a muscle or a sheepshead fish or a sheep
Versus an
orangutan, platypus, orca or human,
We are equivalent means
of carrying maps.
The cartographers
are the genes copying, battling, and aligning in configurations
That facilitate
their leaps from one generation to the next assuring a pseudo sense of
immortality
We as humans have
a group of cells we have used our tool of language to name brain
To identity this
industry inside of us, yet so many see the need to assign this process to the
hands
Of a master
builder as if such a developer were necessary or would have hands
As one to exist
outside of space time had a purpose or that we in our iteration of genetic
skydiving
Were special,
unique, possibly rare, but not like any anomaly in a greater system granted
Immunity from the
base formation of creation in which so many
Linked genetic
maps of a common soup call father
The instructions
to a mosquito, a fern or dare say a crocodile are simpler than that of a human
The genes found a
suitable paradigm and sought to stick with the environment
As habitats change
with the brash complications of gravity, thermodynamics and physics
Upon our tiny galaxy
and in turn our planet these genes adapt as needed or perish
Each catalog is
rampant with the tributaries off a river which was once a lake beyond the skies
No avenue of life
is necessary or mandated or a purpose above, but merely a piece of puzzle
Just as unlikely
to occur as the combination of personhood breathing in your body, which
Could have been masturbated
by me or flushed with a tampon’s nobility as half cells by your mother
Volleying your
life as you know it into nonexistence or therein I could be writing to an alternate
combination of your mother and I’s genetics writing to my son or a shorter or
less intelligent daughter, but in all lottery wins I have the privilege of writing
this poem to you, to which I am elated, and
Happy to tell you
that it is in no way this unlikelihood which makes you special
You are special
because you have volition and sense of comprehension to contemplate
These versions of
truths and carry them and our genes forward
These genes do not
control you; they are no better or worse than any other genetic placeholder
They are merely at
our core what we physically are given no anthropomorphized mind control,
Although in our
ego, superego, and id we triangulate a personality which is beholden
To the motivations
of carrying on our code, but know that we in our form of evolution
Can utilize
contraception and in some cases abortion to choose the timing, frequency, and
possibility of our genetic blueprint moving forward, our brain cells can trump
our half cells
And still engage
in sexual intercourse unabated
This is the taunt
of the fist of the vessel against our genes
This is rare, but
not unique in life, but in all we are called to define our own terms
