Various though not necessarily nefarious prokaryotes, like boats that float and coat along marshes next to streams, marching into crags and seams ; not snagging briny swishings, but a binary fission towards a mission of survival, biofilm the realm : their walls protected from slicing by peptidoglycan, and covered in slime to protect from the clime, a transformation from planktonic into architectonic fortresses . Quadrupling quantities quicken quantum quorum : e pluribus unum ; ex uno plures .

All pacific, until a squall horrifics the moorings, then the walls tumble into the pouring . The lashes unleash the ships that from anchors slip into the rancor of raging swells . The flotilla have their flagella—and now, their dispersal . The sails vanish like shark fins splitting the finish of the world .
