Message from a Molecule

A poem about a molecule who has traveled across the galaxy to become part of your body.

MESSAGE by anselm hollo

hello!

i'm one of Your molecules!

i started from Crab Nebula, but i move about. i've moved about for millions of years.

i entered Your body, perhaps as a factor in some edible vegetable, or else i passed into Your lungs as part of the air.

now, what intrigues me is this:

at what exact point, as i entered the mouth, or was absorbed by the skin, was i part of the body?

at what exact moment (later on) do i cease to be part of the body (i.e., You)?

let me know what You think.

Yrs,
