One hundred microcosms are coerced to play the game of life.
Their rise and fall resting on an indulgent whim;
With this succession of cultured company – my bodily cult – I nest in the pillowy refuge. Soft bodies embracing warm flesh. You need me as much as I need you. Together we will ride it out, sinking through time as one microbial soup set to languish as we are beckoned to live.
Let’s play.

serve me, hold me, stay with me.
