You’re a billion years old today!
 
Unaware of the ubiquitous chemical processes
simultaneously taking place inside me.
Literally: the lifeblood of my existence.
Encoded sets of instructions
engender subtle changes
taking place to my persona…
too slowly to be recognized.
Subtle changes have changed my appearance
only realized when viewing mirror-type images
of the distant past.
Life is a base 4 alphabet…A, T, C, G.
Incredulous processes…so simple…
concurrently so complex.
An age-old simple question now answered.
Which came first…Chicken or Egg?
Answer: RNA
Quote from George Harrison,
possibly experiencing nirvana,
in his song “Rising Sun”:
“Universe at play inside your DNA,
You’re a billion years old today.”
