lyrics

A cell splits

When it comes we

Break
Spring sprinted forward, here we trip

Travel
Spliced. Into this open space. Lost

Searching for a modicum
No
An iota
No
A quark
A quantum
A molecule
No

An essential bit

of meaning

Do you think birds ever have to deal with stuff like this?
I remember feeling her skin sleeping next to the laundry

Far in the into a short span of the nerd's equivalent of summer camp

And then it splits
And I march forward

Do you think cats and dogs ever think like this?
Tying deep introspection to attraction?
Love to a sex life?
Fun to fucking?

Stop

And split

Do you think fish swim like this?

In human behavio(u)r it may be impossible

To be a minimalist—

And I know:

Animals act like this.
