Sea Dreams
how the sea learned to walk on so many legs where the seashell began
compiling its manual how coral disguised itself in itself how jellyfish
learned erudition how the octopus engineered fluidity where the flower
was born and the tree where the root went down how branches branch why
leaves need to grow when the eye of God became a fossil of meaning where
time began work on its museum how the dragonfly was invented how
spiders of crystal learned to cooperate in the mineral kingdom when the
seed discovered its shape in the word love how birds learned to sing
through bone why why is the smallest seashell the faintest star
