Autoimmune
cells fighting their neighbors
a multitude of languages
purposes needs misfiring
across the walls
built up
on purpose
are cells willfully
stealing precious resources
taking from the abundance
that lay in a body universe
all around

The selfish gene
drawing in life giving oxygen
red blood cells busy
carrying nutrients to a few
ordering the taking
of precious breaths
for how long will they say
I need all of this
there is not enough
a narrative
swirling in the chaos
molded by demands of life

Looking but not seeing
across a share space
in the beauty of this universe
another individual human system
