“Buried in Our Ancient DNA”

by Suzán Jiván Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán

Buried in our ancient DNA
coursing through our veins
mutating over generations
becoming long and skinny
intermittently switching
willy nilly sinisterly
linking to horrific illnesses
depending on infectious detritus
triggering full-fledged enemy cells
well into a lethal present tense ...
