in the remote remoteness of somewhere remote flew a fly this fly had realised gravity, relativity and string theory a professor and physicist wise to everyone else in the dark darkness of somewhere dark sped a spider this spider had mastered a multitude of languages a remarkable multilinguist understanding everyone else in the open openness of somewhere open mouthed a moth this moth recited poetry of a profound profundity an awe-inspiring poet warming everyone else in the damp dampness of somewhere damp sludged a slug this slug was just a slug but more than a slug to others wise, understanding, warming a friend to everyone else
