Brownian motion writ large...
within small medium 
as light brainstorm doth 
hail forth the following poem.

Across the realm of gray matter
slowly percolating within tissue
composed of neuronal, glial 
and endothelial cells, and although 
there must be biological...

Life was tough, not much for frills.
I remember it well, yes, even now,

In order to avoid the flack,
Should anyone be offended,

And that’s the story that’s been sold.

But there are no stars burning bright
Not even moon shimmers with its silver blue light

Heading towards the hostile planet mars, 
One spaceship, one ride, no return,
Looking back to what was left of earth,
As it faded into the far distance,
Was there any hope?
For human kind,
Or did...

Portuguese-man-of-war,
knocking on the ocean's door.
Making the moon shine in the mist,
of this and that, and that and this.

The seacow and the seaweed meet,
and brush the sand off their feet.
Then sit and watch the waves roll...

Mounted on a Missouri mule,
