Writings of a man born between worlds

Second Premise

A child inherits features from its Ma
and Pa--appearance, weakness, talents, voice,
a plethora of details--not by choice,
but by the writing of genetic law.
Gametocytes contain a written text
which, sequenced in a 3-D alphabet,
describes the parents' features. It's reset,
and mixed, and carried to the next,
passing down the line a usable description.
Data heritance, the basis of relation,
stems directly from the act of gene transcription;
parentage is DNA communication,
sending cell-to-cell a physical inscription.
Reproduction copies written information.
