DNA Aberrations

DNA aberrations hooked together
in strange ways
accused of impeding investigations
as disconnects translated
like cancer disasters
after blasts scrambled in crashes
laid bare stanched the morning after


rallied into lands of flannel
with contraceptives wisely available
when the ask takes place
planning and pampering
before blanketing began
as patent leather fantasies
of fact before flagged-down families
began with proposals of marriage


like cactus calculus
confidently expansive
as imaginative cocktails
for rooftop gardeners
switching to moxie
in spectacles of barley


on graffitied streets
with senses of intimacy
fashionably blank faced
after coming of age
as oases of mistakes
in relatively small spaces


made from big donations
while dying of complications
during upgrades for chronic pain
cleverly put in place
with sheep sheers to carve shapes
on examination tables
with misinformation...
