FAMILY

Berthold Lippel

Willing or not

These silvery strands

of DNA

Tie us together

Genes, chromosomes

Mysteries of biology

Who understands them?

I never dissected a frog.

But DNA simply means

DO NOT ABANDON

A family does not abandon its own

Its nerve endings vibrate together

The pain of one is the pain of all

The joy of one is the joy of all

This is the mystery.
