Proteins

The tertiary structure
knitted by faint hydrogen bonds
gives that protein
its shape
its usefulness
its essence.

Our feelings
intertwined and complicated
with primary, secondary, tertiary structures and beyond
weak and susceptible to change
bonds form and reform
making it ever so difficult to predict
its use, its dictation of our response.
But yet
to do away with it
this complexity and order in chaos
would be to destory
perhaps what makes us
us.

the duality
and bipolarity of the situation
a complexity of a complexity
irony in a contradiction

Life?
