Identity

Written May 17, 2010

base pairs and stacked rings.
the construction of the things
of the construction of ourselves.
helix, helix: a ladder of aromatix.
I’ll climb that code to reveal

WHO
	  WE
		ARE

can’t strip those genes,
can’t run that far.
can’t hide who YOU are.

(catch yourself being someone else.
  I’ll let it go; I understand.
  I’ll let it go, ‘cause I know.)
