Millipede
Just moving about on its two rows of countless legs
looks to me a most complicated
and complex concern of the
millipede.
I wonder how its motor nerves ensure synchronization
of a milli-leg motion so that not a single
leg may ever accidentally
impede
the smooth movement of the rest of its legs, avoiding
errors that might cause either limb
entanglements or a weird
stampede,
a blunder the millipede would rather keep to itself
and guard against being gossiped
about by creepers like cousin
centipede!
