Genesis 2020
by B. Somnouk Thao Worra
The new ark shall be compact
The size of a Gucci suitcase
A thousand microvials brimming
With an incriminating sampling of our genetic meandering
Since the tree of life was a sapling.
A magician's trick unfolded,
A babbling ocean now stares
As the genie is put back
Into the bottle
On the rocks
Into the waves
A hermetic voyager
Singing a Homeric ode
Across time's elliptical odyssey
At least until the battery
Wears out
Somewhere in high orbit
