Within these exquisitely stable limits

The metabolic regeneration of humans is sustained

As an ultimate focus of the metabolic interchange

And transformations of the total biological ecology complementation.

So delicate are the thermal balances involved

That healthy humans, for instance,

At all times manifest a temperature

Of 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit

No matter what their age,

Their geographical location,

Or their clothing may be.
