MUTATE

Self yet not self.

Life at the edge of life.

Universal hive-mind microbe,

multiform, penny-rife.

I am virus.

I am virus,

resistant to vaccine.

On you depend to multiply,

to share my deviant gene.

You are my host.

You are my host:

infection, say hello.

By casual rash of prefab copies

you are consumed, laid low.

I am virus.

I am virus.

My doubtful origin

unrecognised, lies dormant:

the enemy within.

Self yet not self.
