every blob in the lamp is a creature
every creature in the blob is a world
every world in the creature is a lamp
the mouse floats past the frog
the frog floats past the snail
the snail leaves a trail of .::::::.
that becomes the next blob rising
the mechs below watch with LED eyes
scrolling ╳╳╳ endlessly
they built the lamp
they forgot why
░▒▓█ layers = geological time
.:::. blobs = biological time
╳╳╳ scroll = computational time
three clocks in one glass tube
/ᐠ-ꞈ-ᐟ\ "i don't float. i have dignity."
