Hello semi-permeable thing! You are your own ecosystem wherever you sit. The material you call home is teeming as it breaches the faux boundary of contact. The concept of surface is a gray area, un-pristine and shifty, formed by an elaborate chorus of vibrations and molecules. What you are smelling is gas, and it is further proof that matter is unfixed. Where the binary of synthetics and organics collapse in the mesh of a nest, a gray ecology occurs.

a cybernetic amoeba sparking
a mayfly larvae in the oilslick dugout
a doe through tinted lenses
a bottlecap creek
a mothball on the breeze
a clicking in the glen
a zipper in the gut
