Things that don't go together(7)

Ok, so these things really, really don't go together:

Walt Whitman's transcendentalism and the human microbiome.

Walt used to sing to himself

claiming to be at once individual and universal:

"I am large I contain multitudes."

Oh really, Walt?

The microbiologists tell me you are mostly bacteria.

Could it be you really are full of shit?  :-)
Supposedly, you have ten times the number of bacteria cells in your body than other cells

and over a hundred times the amount of bacteria genes than so called "Whitman" genes :-).

So while you sing of a self infinitely extending

You are literally a sac filled with bacteria.

What a downer.

If only you had eaten your yogurt

You would have been truly craptacular.
