Helix & Felix
Scientifically speaking
one to five percent of our
genes come form Neanderthal ancestry
according to those
that sequence DNA
A genome is still a gnome
and we're all trolls
living under a bridge
or soon will be
an angel of mercy
weeps the blood of our
forefathers
precious water
we can't afford to pollute
when all the rain
forests have disappeared
and wood is the new
currency in a world
full of caves
nary a Plato against
all odds,
nary a man about town,
and yet here, in all this,
I'm bursting at the seams
with Anna.
