I want to be
an ion channel in your pseudo
phospho lipid layer between
internal and outside augmenting
your boundaries with a pseudopod (this
is how bacteria hold hands) my flagella
want to tickle your flagella
when you contract inwards I want
to trade plasmid tricks swap mRNA tips
for finding sweetness in these new sugars
exploring and exploding questions
of being alive, of
this fire in us
I want to be there when you're sad when
we're both small swimming cells
