moritomo
vs human snails
(themes for the
future)
i once met captain
moritomo
in shallow
lukewarm waters of paradise
he was collecting
snails from rocks covered
with algae for his
handy aquarium
snails are very
hungry, he said, they are
protrusion of
algae, you see
i asked him to
explain why would algae
want a protrusion
of themselves to
auto-cannibalize?
they have the
idea of limited growth,
he said, you
see
they were the
first to come and will be
the last to go,
you see
moritomo
washed his face with the
water of paradise
humans did not
have the idea of limited
growth so they
grew and their snails
grew, and then
more and more human
snails grew
until the whole planet was
maimed and
another great extinction
occurred, you
see
i
see, i saw
