from Impersonal Lubricant
Live jellies have no brains,
float blindly
but they can fall asleep, can shed
nerve toxins to defend the colony
and triggered by light
at dawn or dusk
their see-thru pump-domes
simulcast eggs and sperm
into tolerant solution.
Sexual jellies. Some jellyfish
invisible by day
do phosphoresce in darkness.
They could [be] hurt [you]
if you mined them
for the phosphorus
that burns the skin in war.
