D.N.A.

A genome sequencing poem.

This ‘real and singular thing’.
A piece of code in its own genome.
A copy from the past, multipliable, repeatable, yet mutable.
You couldn’t help feeling
that you had stolen this sequence from its owner.
You had transferred a piece of life into the human consciousness.

Apologies to Wim Wenders

We Love D.N.A.!
