mammalian story

one day, real soon, maggie,
our genotypes will call out to
   each other how our
x & y should surely be getting
   together so our
ribosome can flutter & our
d n a can curl & swirl &
   cuddle close, just about
forever.

maybe we’ll beget a
   phenotype that
laughs
   & a dancing tribe of
pheromones
   that never forgets how to
smile.
