Tennis shoes


The athlete waits like an automatic door

when everything is taken in stride of course

and time to challenge the weather picking up

ball and foot coming from behind

the proposal on a better knee

was the start of the chase

streets take the name and buying

comfort wanted to go in

stitching of wrought iron fences

the cars are lacing around corners

25 birds take off leaving a bow

and the knots in trees...it can't be this long!

color won't fade from these or the face

or flag no way of white

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...
