energetic,
split-water molecular, hydrogen-oxiditive,
carbon-nitrogen-fixing metabolism;
tailing-fibrillose-mineral-microbe,
gusting in the shifting water’s’
Nightime,
permanently-darkly dissipated,
dissolving the watery surround.
Soaking-up,
mineral water soluble lunar-Solar heat and light; earthed, polar planetary, positive and negative-turning, or stilled; fielding, slaking off, hydro-electric oily phospholipid-microbial, meteoric debris, mineral-studded,
muddied-sliding over the Oceanic-earth; algic-matting,
layering the early archaic earth, in oblique eccentric orbital-axial precession;
tilting wobbling top closing and opening luni-Solar apparent...
upper-watery boundary thundered trapped-strand’s,
strapped, loaded, transporting-platform,
attached to the swarming surface walls.
Holding inwardly and outwardly faced, strung together; amoebic-domed, metal and mineral grey brown stained, and dark shadow studied-outer shell; foaming,
inundated in the immediate circumstance; attacked, attacking, devouring exhumed, and exhausted.
Each of us now, faintly-glowing in the darkened nighttime-waters...
light-bearing, ambient flickering spun-out from the deep dark ocean floor,
light storing and emitting, seeing twitching thermal imaging.
Stimulated stimulating and responsive, soft-gel vibrating cilia ventricular, desperately breathing in water; energetic, fighting for continuing existence.
Consuming, and consummated opportunistically, dominating infectious and infecting,
transforming the-living, re-set, and re-settling stage.
Leaving behind, skeletal planetary chalkstone.
Granite-riven, risen-solitary Southern-polar continent-baked to the icy frozen-Northern-Oceanic planet;
tipped, receding scorching equatorial,
drying out, dying-out, died-out, leaving behind,
another Great-Dying.
Shifting the allegiance,
from Oneself to the next. Each to their own uniquely-altering, and altering again.
In the regularity and alteration, niche and cleft of the rocks and shifting sands...forever changing; the encompassing planet, and the same and everchanging Oceanic.

With blades-drawn five sword-fighted
To die with a little self-respect
From guns and the automatic firing-squad
None left but One.
With a gun at our head
With a gun at our sides
playacting.
