THE NINETIETH POEM

this poem is an collaboration between me and the artists GEORG TREMMEL and SHIHO FUKUHARA from http://biopresence.com/ ... which spent their lives currently trying to hide human DNA in trees. i would have loved to hide a poem in a tree or in my own body. but we figured it would have been taking too much time and be too expensive. so they helped me to translate the original poem into DNA code of amino acids
