new poem: Putting things in motion

Putting things in motion
by Sheri


The words were a labyrinth

when we went round and round

unraveling more than strings

I was stepping bringing sunlight

like a bowl of oranges I'd

clean any mouth that took this chance

of certain discovery and kiss goodbye

the years the orchard failed to carry

the morning into a must have talk

I said it before that the peace

in the end will be worth the work

of clearing the mind

like a back space of how it was written

for us long ago when everyone said

 take your time first learn to walk

find your way into the center and out

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...
