Design or Dice Initial Version

Somewhere within each double helix haze
O ur genius reaches out with magic wand
U nites inside a multi-layered bond
R ecordings, unique keynote paraphrase.
C hained chromosomes control Life's nights and days,
E ncoding telemeres in locks, dark, blond,
S trand chance entangled links before, beyond.
D esign or dice? Still Nature antics plays,
E nigma existential, all decays.
L ittle's known what from primaeval pond
A dvances to a future vagabond,
V ersatile mutant, fenced from gnostic gaze.
I f Time's spring somehow could be role-reversed
E arth might not know the music's flow here versed.

(10 February 1996)
