When you read about

meek receivers

You might not care for the parallels

Anyway - here goes – think…….

small molecules

When effectors begin their long missions,

so principled and alive in wet worlds,

the anticipation hides at the back

All primed to regulate

A gold abyss,

that doesn’t drag in effectors,

as if these receptors had personalities

the dream stream detects certain enzyme sites

sites that aren’t active ones –

these are first steps in allosteric control,

dynamics of proteins then make - and don’t break - circuits

activation of an inside ether

Chemical events have to happen before

utility follows –

the arrival of an effector triggers a signal cascade

Biochemistry is almost grinning,

impersonating the complicated submission that’s needed

as sacrifice seeps into might,

in advance of

goodness

riding high;

programming becomes destiny

These enzyme sites are

meek receivers

they breathe and become future donors

There,

you thought about

small molecules
