Double helix

Lives intertwine like a fractal from up above
Flowing and climbing and expanding and deepening
Coming and going and coming and going
The Lord has giveth and the Lord has taketh away
And then through the serendipity of deja vu
The Lord has giveth what He has taketh away
Or what I might have throweth away

Conspiring against delusional Pribnow boxes
Evading the easy deamination of cytosine to uracil
Like the methylation of thymine
The helix constituents meet and repel
A magnet of its own dilemma--
Or delirium or insanity like a mutagenic influx

Attracting and repelling in a cycle of eternal
Or never-ending replication, forced or unforced
The fallacies of life, enjoyed and unenjoyed

Forever shortening, shortening, shortening
Preserving the important fragments
In an auto-splicing delinquency
Of realities unfolding beyond the imaginations of children
Toying around like bees around their hive

In forever steadfast stone

Written within us all
Not in our blood
But with our codes

We are mere codes, fulfilling and dreaming and tearing apart
Nucleases ripping us in diamond fashion
To our own little perfections
