What goes into ensuring that a couple
first meets?
They must survive scarcity, and the
cars in the streets.
The must arrive close together in all
four dimensions,
and must together feel comfort and
sexual tensions
Both soon enough on meeting, and so
long that they don't leave.
Precision timing keeps defining the
children they conceive.
So much rests on which moment they
choose to reproduce,
For the merest change in the timing
sets other genes loose.
I would be a different person if you
changed a few mutations
In any of the offspring of one hundred
generations,
and if anyone surrounding them behaved
much differently,
Through coincidence it's likely that
I'd never come to be.
I'm not just a byproduct of
long-lost-to-time romances.
I'm accumulated fallout from
forefathers' circumstances.
