Looking like a model

Looking like a model

Looking like a model
from an Abercrombie And Fitch advertisement
She stands across the plat form
Thoughts appear in my mind
Strange and contradictory
The same set of Hox genes are in
frogs as are in humans
There are a minimum of thirty two amino acids
That needs to hook up to form the replicating protein
Random chance of forming is at ten to the power of forty one
The rain sluiced across all surfaces
Making the world appear insubstantial
And unreal
What are the chances of meeting a person that
Has all the qualities and ascetics
And can trust
Passing in a airport or on a beach
On a train or walking in park
What are the chances of her talking?
Willing to take a chance
Or even willing to stop
Against common sense
