Predictions (a short poem this morning)

Predictions


The storm, as a last ditch effort

to move a critic, has a rough patch

now dosed and making up

coming clean.

A gulping train belches flags.

Someone says

the chill of the white farm house

will need green to show

all things break down.

Life or death comes on

like street lights of an all too

familiar ride.  If I was taken

short or long, the gases will

not collide, or make tomorrow

fill the head with thunder.

If the lights go out, I've

already written the book

on the dark.

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...
