Bacteria Street Circus
scan the detail for spectators
blind maestro
hear the hoopla
when they zoom
up and down
into and through
desk city
microbe avenue
ashen spheres
and pill shaped acids
dancing
logarithms
here
among your pens
and paper thrives
sophisticated
biosphere
fissioning aficionados
take their microscopic seats
in microscopic opera houses
built in microscopic streets
raise your hand and with a whisper
spin your silly fairy tales
it is with ease that you will please
the crowd beneath your fingernails
Pseudomorph
Pseudomorph: Some octopi and squid, when threatened, eject ink in a blob about the same size and shape as their bodies, leaving a phantom copy of themselves (a pseudomorph) hanging in the water, as the original makes its escape.
