The Transformed Bacterium

Adam sits alone sweating its words which spread into the world. . And Adam smells and decodes the fragrances, messages, yes. . Adam enumerates. "The people are here!" one day Adam proclaims. . Now, it's time to slip away. The contract built into it, . like death but not really. I will never move again. I will be a brick in the fortress. . One day we will stand tall all performing a duty We will rise out of the sea.
