gill opening earbone, calcinous phosphate crystalline matrix inter and intra-weaving. Internal, cyto-skeletal beak-mouthing, aural-linkage rattling-bone,
cilia-comb, gastrula blind sensing-jellyfish...
rising toward the upper oceanic basin shoreline...
Hot-dry wind and land stretched-away,
to mid-planetary equatorial and other-equatorial mountainous-archipelago;
volcano-laval steaming clouded-island chained.
Conceiving, and feeding the young, throughout the life cycle; nitrogen and calcium bonded,
cross tensor strengthening body shape; in deep cold water’s...
Folded suture-patterned success, in-defence against from gravity, and water-pressure;
in shallow-pools seeing-out, or looking-in, for and against attack.
2.4. Sun and moon.
Sun, and moon cycling periodic-daily, monthly,
and seasonal annual growth-rings;
ribbed-spiral form, jet-water propelled,
in the opposite direction.
Stretching arms and legs motoring sculling-skeletal,
pus-ridden shell-skin living –fossil pinned,
spiked tacky pegged-back,
secured, fastenned, attached; sealed,
energising mobilising gas and egg-production,
shielded-shell.
With position and sized features,
holding onto gulping mouth, and turning bodytail, thwarting would be destructants.
Taking-in renewing foodstuffs pushed down through rolling circulate muscle-contraction;
made, inward and EarthCentre downward-motion;
in Cafeteria, canteen, coughed, laughed,
in training, passed-on, through rapid electrochemical regeneration.
Along, soft-layering hardened cartilaginous-tract;
from opened-mouthed to walled-stomach sac.
Into sticky chaining and unchaining acid heat burning chamber,
separating juices, sapped through hollow fibril galvanising, cellular bodily activity.
Harmful toxin infected food, alerted through inflaming abdominal bile, two-way ducting nausea and diarrhea reflex.
Hidden and hiding, spitting vomiting out stinging poison,
toxic gas and waste water.
Amongst sliming mould and coral mite heaped mound and sweet sugar and nutrient energy-fielding;
revitalized immune system.
Expelling waste product, gusting guesting parasitic mites,
other than host self cell surface inflamed barrier, wrapping pathogen enemy,
each accommodation of host with pathogenic-guest.
The closest proximal, fastest least-action required, instrumentally commandeered, tensed and released...
strand lead-wire, to Stop, Start, Release and Hold.
The favours, digesting to absorb the useful,
to deny the damaging pathogen, or form a pact,
with low-margin of alteration-error...
to endlessly repeat, and reform.
Practice and chance,
of the various non-redundant control’s...matching...
useful innovating and responsive, open-ended scaffold-building,
dismantled and rebuilt, somatic and re-programmed part.
With muderous-intent...
Sequel add-on expansion version-controlling maximal-minimal compression buttons-pressed,
foot-pedalling heel and toe, hand-gripped,
wheeled-steering, cogged-ratcheting levering braked,
and locked. The driving force,
internally light and heat controlled and guided,
guiding with varying colour-shaped combination,
swirled and aligned clicking...static-linear,
circling-interlocking, deliberately, purposefully entangling. Chased plankton-bloom and shoals of shrimp.
Snapping and crushing pod, rock crustacean and mollusk.
Sucked in krill, chambered length of toothed red worm,
bitten off algic decorated tapestry-ceiling.
Taking in, or not taking the chance.
Improving, or denying, in the immediate persistent situation, momentarily to react, and to reaction, reactively reflexively adjusted to changing outer
and inner circumstance.
Increasing the size, and consumption of smaller local prey.
Shape shifting along, become inedible, too large, too tough, too cunning.
Each success adding a physical and neurological pathed potential,
through to the next round.
Along spread out stem leaves and branches,
oval open mouthings, brown green cucumber slug, and red-blooded worm. Nibbling,
at sea-lettuce and cabbage, bladderwort, mustard broccoli and cauliflower.
Opening leaf seed flower and lower nut casing in water; beaded and flowing off, over waxy smooth cuticle.
Feeding from leaf white and more colour reflective plant,
seed pollinated and budded.
After brief recovery, resealed, reformed, rested, tested and searching again,
winding and unwinding off, reverseways through the vegetation, coral forest, tiny crustacean washed-off,
to fall and float, snapped up in droves.
Carapaced; slug crustacean, tactile tentacled mollusk,
stuck to and crawling imperceptibly, assuredly along the protective sides.
Scallop shelled limpet, slow and slippery clamfish
Water beetle resting, from potential assault, hiding in the watery slime mould and sand.
Tiny lampshell clam, armoured giant sea-scorpion;
dragging four pairs of legs and long tail.
Surviving, incidentally, overcamouflaged nest, and pit-trap lair.
Unsuspecting other, lured accidentally into capture.
Exhuming the crabmeat, with toe nail clawed pincer.
Moving onto and unable to crack resin shellaced barnacle, limpid limpet occupant, left alone.
Ignoring, the hidden colourless background periwinkle,
creeping along the edge.
The attempting scavenger predator prey,
giving to compound pitted and pinhole photosensitive;
tri-pointed, cubed, and multilateral shaped, multiple dimensional,
stringing clustering light sensitive pigment of violet-red,
yellow-grey and blue-green.
Taking-in, and flashing out, a danger-signal, for or against, homing-in on lighter, or more shaded parts;
that could propitiously be-food, that could be-fed.
Small insect-crustacean, starfish brittle-feather sea-cucumber, sea-lilies, sea-squirt, starfish scaly feathery-flesh, surviving-mussel, filter feeding through rudimentary dentine, pulp hardened enamel ringed-teeth, sieving from the water, the chambered fleshed clam shell hinge, snapped tight shut.
Closing, snapping shut, the interred, newly budding forms entombed, enwombed.
Flapping pentagonal furry ciliate starfish limbic extension points,
floating and rising, muscle fat and bone beaked, pouched venomous stinging speared;
muscle fibred starfish assault, defended against by laired rock caverned shell shrimp and crab claw crawling, ambushed.
In coral stony-fortress sheltered, cleaned, picked on by butterfly winged fish-finned, biting through rock, sandy tropical-beach, exhausted, and deposited.
Lamprey, grasping rasping blood sucking tube,
sea to freshwater dying, after-spawning, digging holes for watery larvae-to-mature, to parasitic form and structure; through conductive insulating and isolating filament, electro-plated receptor and transducer,
aware scanning-sensors, rapid-firing stimulators...
triggering hydraulic corpuscular-flow.
Activating,
conjoined-geared and ratcheted, winching and unwinching motor activity.
Fish like lancelet, cordate proto-vertebrate side-to-side,
muscle block swimm
ing,
gill’s-feeding filter jawless limbless flat, eel-like, hagfish fin-tail, side-to-side cartilage-scales.
Small silver and golden yellow fish, cleaning off the rocky edges.
Vast darting and herded droves, curious and afraid,
hid amongst immense rock-pillar;
growing mineral-microbial built-coral shell-reef,
water break,
near-distant, virtually blind-shark snouted-gill,
lower jaw-teeth non-skeletal,
freed front facing calcium bony plate, sonar-capturing capsule.
Upper tail-fin sharp-knifed through the waters.
Paddling pawfins, positioning, with mechanical bone-rattle, attenuating, over sensitive cilia mat, smelled,
and tasted orientation, towards satisfying re-energising meal,
dorsal-pectoral fin on the head, near the gills,
semi-permeable, calcifer-calibrating...
gating and sodium pressure-exchange,
across muscle-nervous blood-brain membrane and interface.
Mucal-saliva trickling from mouth to stomach to brain.
Gastrul sensing tongue muscling, tasting, smelling, toothed-jawed extended skeleton,
swimming side to side thrashing-tail, and fin-sharp... shell rock hard, and oily-scaly, and pourous, flesh-plastid underbelly,
deep-chambered cavernous gape, drawing into sieving, crunching-tooth, rattling-bone; jaw-dislocated, wide-mouthing swallowing-cavity.
As a night sky, into daylight. Each navigation, away and toward,
in-contact and capture, to escape other sucking tube;
and biting jaw, into the future, to live and reproduce again.
Snapping-up,
consuming, and repeating, continuing;
return mouthing gurney balance-operating, and extending fibred-limbs, gelatinous-wrapping tentacle-moving,
from capture-to-mouth internally-warmed, cooked,
cooled, chewed, digested, and warmed blue to red-veined,
colours-vibrating, in bursts and waves, of renewed energy.
Extended and contracted separately articulating food and jaw grip,
controlling intake with taste and odour, sized-movement;
of the mouth and gut, with instinctual-movement, reinforced retaining-record,
of what is good to eat,
