Amino acids, carbon & nitrogen, hydrogen & oxygen 

Protein chains, sugar & salt, starches & vitamins

All protons on neutrons, electrons on atoms

Energy & chemicals & enzymes & peptides

Digestion & blood, sugar & fat

You're alive, you're alive, you're alive

Folds of your stomach, cells upon cells

Carbon on carbon on carbon, my dear

Patterned like snowflakes, woven like thread

Crystalline & fluid & patchwork & fibrous

Organelles & cytoplasm, ATP & DNA

Tapestry of life, infinitesimal, infinite

Evil's nowhere to be found here;

The only toxins lie with starvation-

Only flowers grow here.

Starches & sugar & fat & salt

You're alive, you're alive, you're alive-

Isn't it beautiful?

The pinch of soft 'round your middle, your subcutaneous tissue?

All carbon on carbon on carbon again

Health is in thriving, happiness in indulgence, my dear

The world's in the toast crumbs on your chin.
