RES NULLIUS

De som gjorde en distinkt åtskillnad
mellan liv och död hade fel,
faktum är att jag har burit runt på molekyler
i över fyrtio år, vilka var och en för sig
är mer långlivade än någonsin något djur.

Så förbryllande!

Rent assemblage,
helt organiskt …

I själva verket har jag aldrig varit levande.

Och jag (eller snarare det som utgör
delar av mig) kommer aldrig att dö.
