mass is conserved.
one body becomes two, becomes four––

in ocean, ganglions wander like cartography
& make love with small, deliberate motions.

these currents don’t align in stable orbits
free-floating stomachs thus develop primitive spines.

by night the seafloor flowers with pale & sessile mouths––
small hearts digest brains for nourishment.
