"microbiome" poems
I wish to be a single unit.
I want all of my body to contain my
vibrancy
I do not want to feel restrained by
my anxieties.
This unit will work together
a full microbiome
a complete structure
good-enough in nature
keeping you alive.
self-efficacy,
a concept I'd love to measure.
blood levels, stress worksheets, therapist visits,
drugs, anti-depressants, side effects
things i can measure.
Biology,I get it,
but intrapersonal connections?

Oh gastric sleeve, I've worn you long
To gasp, to cough disgustingly
For I have treated you so wrong
Ingesting drink not good for me
Green Tea is now my joy
Green Tea I may sip all night
Green Tea turns my heart to gold
This antioxidant, Green Tea
Your leaves I've soaked, as I've my heart
Oh, how your taste does capture me
Now I refrain from other tarts
My heart remains your cavity
Green Tea is now my joy
Green Tea I do sip at night
Green Tea turns my heart to gold
Such antioxidants, Green Tea
I hold you constantly in my hand
To steep whenever I may crave
I have both wagered heart and head
My microbiome you've help save
Green Tea is all my joy
Green Tea I will sip all night
Green Tea turns my heart to gold
This antioxidant, Green Tea

”in tears, may make other organs weep”
HenryMaudsley, 19th-century English psychiatrist”
<>
make no mistake,
the essaence of
Sorrow
is everywhere:
within the blood streaming,
in each celled nucleus
it etched, microscopic,
to the tear ducts directly connected,
a microbiome insertion everything
so when love torn,
deserted,
merely mentally homeless,
no direction selected,
the weeping originates in
every limb and *****
though no pain sensation need be present
or available to be nominated or accounted,
the tears can’t be closed off,
the torrential hurricane unceasing,
and through it comes with a wisp of a
smile attached,
for the flooding in a mirror
now gleaming reflected
and at longingly last,
a true portrait
saved,
*for a sorrow vented
is a sorrow
freed
and
a profile
completed

In an infinite universe, you are an infinite mystery
You are a hypercube, a pan dimensional entity with the possibility of never ending invisible sides
You are a tiger chasing its tail
You are a strand in the translucent fabric of reality
You are my friend, my enemy, my lover, my family
You are a stranger
You are a symbol, a code to convey a message
You are God
You are nothing
You were born to die but will never cease to exist
You are a microbiome, a world, a home
You are the sum of your parts
You are not meant to be understood
You are a unique copy
You are a paradox
You are a tool created by the cosmos for which to understand itself
You are we

At the biological level
We are made up of
58% microbiome
And 42% human tissue
At the quantum level
We are made up of
a hundred trillion cells
And each cells has
a hundred trillion atoms
Perhaps consciousness is the glue
That holds us together!

I discovered a strange new world...
A world thriving with microorganisms
Colonies of colorful
bacteria fluidly flowing
through membranes
of cellular tissue.
Fine phlegmy parasites
covering caves
of mucous membrane
Friendly fungi feasting on cancers
mildew and mould the tiny little dancers
And the viruses we so feared
Are holding the remedies of antient cures
The catalyst of the code God
awaits to be downloaded
And each and every microbiome knows it
