[hometext] => written in 1997 in mexico where part of the biosphere is dying perhaps to be reborn.
[bodytext] => Bio-Creation It may have first happened in a salty sea, From reduced chemicals in a geothermal vent, Or from clay that life's form was lent, Free replicating prions in a carbon-mineral soup, A strand of D or RNA, Finally pointing the way, Pre-cellular self-replicating machines, Must have incorporated minerals to have achieved their means, Even if the message was sent from space, The earth's environment has set the pace, Life's genetic codes contain within them, The mark of earth's specific circ-annual and circadian rhythm, Even our bodies show adaptation, To the earth's specific gravitation, Perhaps the most fundamental bio-creation of all, Was when these carbon-mineral structures recognized self and erected a cell wall, [comments] => 1 [counter] => 175 [topic] => 53 [informant] => tryals [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => scifi )
