Poem after talking with you last night


The medication used to be a tool that tightened
everything that was loose, coming unhinged,

the overworked handle on things. I stopped
making a fix that would never hold. When

won't you, telling me the jungle is nothing

but overgrowth of my own wildest dreams,
and when the rains come, I will be wearing

the sky, and you will fly through me like
fireworks, each rain drop a color on the

lapels of men who did the impossible.

Don't it make my brown eyes, blue

What is the genetic mutation "Originally, we all had brown eyes," said Professor Hans Eiberg from the Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine. "But a genetic mutation affecting the OCA2 gene in our chromosomes resulted in the creation of a "switch," which literally "turned off" the ability to produce brown eyes." The OCA2 gene codes for the so-called P protein, which is involved in the production of melanin, the pigment that gives colour to our hair, eyes and skin. The "switch," which is located in the gene adjacent to OCA2 does not, however, turn off the gene entirely, but rather limits its action to reducing the production of melanin in the iris -- effectively "diluting" brown eyes to blue. The switch's effect on OCA2 is very specific therefore. If the OCA2 gene had been completely destroyed or turned off, human beings would be without melanin in their hair, eyes or skin colour -- a condition known as  albinism...
