helicase


four letters bound together make

an epic poutporri

that compose his utter logic, his

idiosyncrasy

 

his perfect frame of sugar and

phosphate physique

protect his a t c g and make his code

unique

 

now liberated from his chromosomes he

dances so carefree

like a partner-less performer, he waits for

me

 

 the moment has arisen,  a signal

from proteins

so here i start my journey

                                                                       un

                                                                                 zip

                                                ping                             

                                                                                                his

                               genes
