Uncle History and the Human Genome

The past was written
For thousands of years
“History”
Culled from air
How smug he was
Uncle
Thinking himself
The word inside the word
But cytosine
Guanine, adenine
And thymine
What a disaster!
Nature
Writing secretly
Without mentation
With the power
That comes from drifting
He should drift more
That’s it, he thinks
