Fingerprint


They have taken the marks and whorls
Of a universe which is purely personal
To the individual but common to all
And used it as a weapon against him.
Who else could think of taking the pattern of a snowflake,
No two identical,
Documenting it in a computer,
Letting the snowflake know,
Just in case it made a wrong move,
Totally oblivious to the beauty of snow?
