Magnetoception
helps untold organisms
to navigate life
Orientation of the birds
Humankind does not
possess this magnetic sense
We try to square up
The Earth’s field is useless to us
We are left to search
for a cryptochrome protein
Something that might help
In eyes, sensitive to blue light
We can only hope
Our wires get crossed kindly
to give a compass
Mapping our way across the globe
As the animals…
Gladly, the plan is benign
we mimic salmon
The Lord knows how we are wired
