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.
