Chromosome 13
This chromosomal Usual Suspects line:
Tentacle arms in I surrender pose;
Look closer, though: each is made of zips.
The microtubal slider is drawn down
Their lines sag open, yawn, and through
These smallest needle-eyes emerge
Men, elephants and whales; bulked biospheres:
A meta boa’s swallow in reverse.
This isn’t a surrender: they’ve all won.
The arms are up in celebration.
