II |
| Gene action is the prime mover, the great absolver. |
| Mining green gold to spill black ink, to drink it from the troft and cut in on |
| the sugar. |
| Surrender the commons to the bootmarch of biotech, served by back-pocket ivory |
| towers and pump-priming federal courtesies. |
| With science comes rhetoric. |
| Couched in terms of life-maps and holy grails, cybernetics and feedback |
| transducers: the language of sociobiology. |
| All handmaidens for dangerous crossings and hand-wringing policies. |
| Safe guards to thrash the parliament of defects and disposed workers to the |
| scrap heap of oblivion. |
| Give us perfection on polymer scaffolding. |
| Give us ghetto walls bricked word by word. |
| Give us eugenics in seasonal colours. |
| Give us new life over telegraph wires. |
| The body of modern biology, like the DNA molecule — |
| And also like the modern corporation or political body — |
| Has become just another part of the informational network, |
| Now machine, now message, always ready for exchange, each for the other. |
