Next dog poem: Pit Bull

Pit Bull

The coat the river borrows.

The eyes moving as a speed boat.

 You are a magnet pulling paper clips

making loose papers scatter

their chicken scratches by hand

you know the pressure of reading everyone.

The ears of the toes of dress socks

tumbling in high heat.

 The tail took the effort out of love.

 You are not shy binding every structure

to a body built as high as anyone

is willing to go to find a panting

after any chase and coming down

like this lumberjack.

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...
