Guess Genes

Crazy that individuality is irony;

A collection of things


That, when combined,

Always make someone different;


Though, none of those ‘things’

Are unique.


Genetically, individuality is merely

A math problem:


Calculations, statistics, probability.

The you that is You is possible


Chiefly because of the possible combinations

To pull from—


Combinations that are at once probable

And Improbable; You


Couldn’t be anything else; you

Are the only You that will ever be


That’s bananas!

That’s what it is!


Crazy-talk! Hokum! Except, it’s true.

The very thing that makes you You is


The combination of four enzymes

Acid, deoxyribonucleic acid:


Cytosine,

Guanine,


Adenine,

Thymine.


Those, combined together,

Create enough variation—


Through pairing rules,

Glued by hydrogen bonds—


That there cannot be

Another you… math headaches!


Consider, you are the

Confluence of


Genetic

Code—


Given from

Ancestor


To Ancestor

To Ancestor—


Then to you.

That seemingly simple


Combination of

Twenty three pairs of
