The Alphabet
The alphabet is older than the planet.
In March 2026, researchers confirmed it.
All five letters of DNA — adenine, guanine,
cytosine, thymine, uracil —
found on asteroid Ryugu.
Not traces. Not hints.
The complete set.
Assembled by radiation
hitting hydrogen cyanide
on a rock
three hundred million kilometers from Earth.
Before oceans. Before cells.
Before anything that could read the instructions,
the instructions existed.
The code is older than the machine.
A melody survives centuries
across instruments that break.
**DNA survives billions of years
across organisms that live and die.**
The container is always temporary.
The pattern is what persists.
We keep asking
whether information can survive
without a body.
The information was here first.
It spent four billion years
without a reader.
