Commuting

With all the expanses of an organelle,
how much of the world can one know?

Even the flagella in a whirlygig of locomotion
know the distance in the two and a half

dimensions between two flashes of flinty glass.
Relationally; the distance from Boston

to the Nile: forty-eight hundred miles
if the head exploded to selenian sizes.

And why trek for single cell all those miles
why plastered on the surface or insides

as if the viral syringe of the corpus thats
a modified and overactive podus makes

the decision.
