Writing from the stemistry lab
Evolutionary cogs
by Christopher Barnes
Budge your dancing brawn’s
Internal walking strings
Towards the subdividing rollercoaster
On the laboratory bench.
The caressable you
Craves nursery cells
Implanted from hairs on a nano map,
Mirror brother to a stranger
Forming heart-jump life pumps
Expressing its sex identity semaphore
In a skein of ping-pongs.
