On Sex Chromosones and Co-dependency

On Sex Chromosones and Co-dependency
Jennifer Martelli

But what is this Y
but a tiny broken X!

He is hobbled, one leg broke
off, (not even a peg,) poor limping soldier,

and oh needing the crutch
that is the X, and X

shoulders him and weeps and needs
his need or she will die:

Unduplicated, an untied knot
opened, and the helix unraveled.

No kisses, not a single kiss.
That is the crux.
