Race

I'm the same sperm that swam 

past millions;

embraced a solitary egg, 

which coldly embraced me back.

I remember , oh I remember the looks,

the looks of looks

before each perished 

in front of my eyes.

It was forty years ago.

Yeah, four decades before realization came, 

it was a treacherous race

meant to pick the least,the lost 

the unluckiest.
