The droplet is the elixir of life. How did we even get here
if not in droplets, the thought swam through my mind
Just as I zoomed in on the swarming infusoria before me
then backed away just enough to capture the scope of the universe.
Absurdly it appeared to be currently expanding into an aquarium.
These contrivances summoned by the mirror neurons in my mind
a sudden drowning essence resurrects the instance that had been
but until a moment ago long forgotten causing its recurrent details to blossom
once again, in their relentless glory, while the reawakened memory gets
a better grip on its unfortunate recipient, a kind of reminder of the story being told
on account of all the escapades undergone together on more than several moonlit nights
and various complicated plights we'd gotten ourselves into you know
just the same old story from a couple of notorious commoners.
