Linkage disequilibrium

Non-random. Two forms of a gene, not necessarily identical, nor in the same place. Sometimes, even on different pieces of DNA altogether. For many, many reasons, they should not link. Should not move together in evolutionary space-time without obvious reason. Yet they do.

Insomnia. The internet. Too much coffee, too much work. Too little time. Two continents and a 12 hour time difference should equal less connection.

But through your nights and my days, we write together. Through my days and your nights, we still share- Music. Work. Ideas. Coffee.

Plugged in to conversations with my mother, still. Remember birthdays from another lifetime.

Tuned out of randomness. Workplace small talk. Who used the last of the cells Who stuffed tips last Send out those emails asap. On the same plane, meaningless.

I move like an allele linked to another place, another time. In happy disequilibrium.
