Look –
like everyone else,
you are 65 per cent oxygen
18 per cent carbon
about 10 per cent hydrogen.
The other 3 per cent
is a solution of
calcium, phosphorus, sulfur,
chloride, fluoride, sodium
iron, tin and even arsenic
mixed with compounds of
mercury, nickel and boron
with a molecule or two
of iodine, cobalt, copper
and even lead thrown in.
To be blunt,
you are like every other human
on the planet.
So why can’t I hit
your curve ball?
