Opportunities For Mutation

Creative Writing, Poem 1 Minute


It’s the twenty-first century and people are everywhere,
Viral replication is advancing like wildfire…!

Each new host brings opportunities for replication,
Andβ€” subject to environmental interaction,
Opportunities for mutation;

One, two, three, fourβ€”
It’s time to go…
VIRRRALLLL!!

…SPIKE-PROTEIN INSERTION,
VIRUS-CELL ADSORPTION,
SITES OF REPLICATION,
RIBOSOME CANTATIONS!

RNA TRANSCRIPTION,
DEVIL-CHILD CREATION,
HOST CELL MEMBRANE FUSION,
VIRAL RE-EJECTION…!

Multiply!
Catalyse!
Diversify!
Terrorise!

Multiply!
Catalyse!
Diversify,
Re-terrorise!

…The possibility of viral gene mutation remains a constant,
Through collisions random with Earth-born radiation, cosmic rays,
And McDonalds ingestion,

Caught in its own death spiral,
Humanity is going viral,
It’s the twenty-first century…
New world MUTATIONAL!!!!!!

I write poems which are mental health-themed, creative or humourous :). Within mental health I write a lot about: ADHD, OCD, anxiety, autism, emotional traumaβ€” usually with an optimistic slant. My goals for my blog are to give myself a therapeutic, creative outlet whilst also being able to connect with and relate to other people.
