Why is DNA So Sexy?

a poem

feathers
wattles
bright colors

you turn me on my head
why must you fuss
why must i breed

results remain the same
fifty percent tariff
inevitable diversity excised

iterations wobble
feathers, wattles and bright colors
evolutionary slop (or spill)

inevitable wander
searching for fit
fifty percent spreading for miles

alternatives live
but do you heighten
survival     really

keep me a step from danger
the tariff pays
     and costs

but why
just one
choice

more failure points
less hereditary claim
are you even my type

so many options
for pleasure
so much baited distraction

why is dna so sexy?
