the morning they unwound the histone protein for good
I’m just getting my ass together and in the process of
resurrection. They call it waking up. I’m not going to call it
that anymore. It doesn’t feel like waking up. It feels like
I’m that monster of an 18 year old mother’s ghost story
contest entry and the good doctor isn’t really
“waking” me up at all. Thomas Edison could make a movie
about it that gets lost for 80 years and then gets found with much
excitement and then everyone sees that it’s too short and not
such a great movie after all and it wouldn’t haven’t been
so tragic if it’d stayed lost.
I’ll write more after I’m fully resurrected and
I’ve had words with my second-hand creator. Originally we were
only supposed to have one wife, one car, and one creator. Suffrage and
Sappho got the first one. Henry Ford and Tokyo got the second. I think
human beings will fix god’s wagon too someday. I wish I could be
the geneticist who gets to echo it to the ceiling of St.
Peter’s: “God! I’m a’gonna fix your
wagon!” Writing is quite boring. I think you can see that DNA
research would be a thrill.
