I used to think,
Metabolites
moved like a factory
from step to step
from start to done
by specialized machines.
Nothing wasted
Just because
production was so tight
with inputs in
and outputs out
with prudence and foresight.
Now I feel
that's not the case
because efficiency
is born through strife
and battles for
substrates limiting.
In my mind now
the fact'ry's gone
and all the parts are junked
the living cell's
production is
more like a big pot luck!
