and our friends are here below...

Analogously, similarly, and even metaphorically, consider the richness of the seas. Tropical, frozen wastes, Titanic and the iceberg, snorkeling, scuba, and submarines... strange anemones, fish floundering along, and the octopus, the squid, the ray and others, all there...

Now, while we're feeling nautical, what are you?

1. a fish (which one?)
2. a piece of plankton?
3. seaweed?
4. coral reef?
5. a meandering current
6. flotsam and jetsom
7. something else...
8. Oh, what about the whales, and seals, and little sharks and... well, there's a whole seascape for you...

Fill in the crabs, the sand, the riptides and gentle stroke, stroke, stroke of the waves...

Under the moonlight? In the turmoil at the edge of the storm? Floating lazily under warm suns?

Push that trope a bit, work it...why are you a hermit crab, stuck in a soft drink can? And what about the rest of us--where are we in your salty dreamscape?

Go ahead, enjoy the deeps and the shallows.
