 masqued ball

at what point

does the genome

  epigenetics 

    proteomics

become so iterated that

senescence becomes a retrograde algorithm 

so full of errors that 

the wheel tappers are ineffective

engine malfunctions catastrophic 

at what point 

does the optimal age for procreation

reach a point in time

before procreation itself has occurred 

is that where death is born

now what set of genomics 

  epigenetics 

    proteomics

would ask such a thing

on their death bed

when the hyper-polarised neurones

are falling into the blinding light

of the bleeding obvious

or is it all a masque
