Fertilisation

An iron wall to split a cell.
A membrane formed by man and men.
A marker like a shadow cast
out from a northern sun.

Where east meets west.
Where west meets east.

In grey the black and white conceal
the misdirection in their minds,
they grapple with the lost ideal
and treat the sighted like the blind.

A nation born from mania
now tolls the bell of Clark and Kent.
An iron wall to split a cell,
the embryo experiment.
