Names of Hurricanes (a brief poem)

Names of Hurricanes

I bet no Mother Earth would give birth to you

ripping and roaring through what was a standstill

I bet the girl or boy would be hell bent from the beginning

reeking havoc and not taking a tit

I bet each one wants to be known for one notch against wood

laying water down as a last resort to any getting close

I bet you never want to be their name and find yourself nameless

better than being helpless or hopeless or wanting any less of life

I bet the name is signed all over the land in it's learned art

calligraphy or electronically in blue

I bet you measure who's name is more strong and powering

going down in history like a story you can't forget

I bet each name is chosen to be without personality

just a faceless and merciless entity driving home destruction.

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...
