coalesce
my essence

DNA clouds rain down
biochemical infection
seeping into new skin
blossoming in the belly
of the beast we are
within

conceive
my dreams

convince them
we have good intentions
we'll spread a
benevolent infection
benefiting everything
proliferation is
manifest destiny

corroborate
my claims

doctors do the same
kings and queens
birds and beasts
breed and bleed
carnal things
beget carnal things

convince
my spirit

our continued existence
is legacy worth leaving
enlivening Earth and
all living things
that pollution
brings pleasant dreams
just the same

that we are more than parasites
