let us exchange bodily fluids
 on the venetian holy altar
 with the blessing of the pope
 and the saints and the gods
 I named my dna - jacks
 you named yours - jills
 let jack and jill walk up the hill
 jack jumped jill and produced elizabeth

 let us exchange dna
 weave a new fragment on the genetic landscape
 x y and z will form d
 let us exchange our ideas
 argue about the size of the wedding ring
 the plot of land in the suburbs
 where we can plant our dna
 send the fragments to kindargarten
 then graduate from high school
 enter the ivy league
 and exchange their own dna

 let us exchange dna
 it's no sacred crime
 i am trying to increase the genetic diversity
 the primal man eats the egg
 steals the native girl
 and procreates
 then later reads chaucer and hemmingway
 the sperm pierces the egg
 the egg will unfold the earth

 let us exchange dna
 without the marital union
