at left, an electron microscope's look at the inner-workings of a living Cell........ at right, a drawing that I made of what I imagined was going on in my brain....54 years ago.......when I was perplexed by having to 'decide' between studying Art or Evolutionary Microbiology..... a 'human' embryo....within the uterus......not so unlike an alligator embryo........the microscopic level is 'where it's all happening'.....and those chemical/genetic recombinings make the Tommorrow Beings.......What one thinks...and does.....alters the chemical structures within our DNA, giving birth, repeatedly, to the New Us........We are not unlike all other organic creatures on Earth.....

Blow me and you get the top bunk; blow him, and I 'key' your new car;  blow her and she'll fart in your face....   There's no way to get what you imagined you wanted, Dork!   Your Nerd friend can add up the random coincidences and your Geek friend jerked off on your dirty underpants.....Emma Stone's got your scrotal seam stuck between her front teeth and her girlfriend's done bloodied her pantyhose.....Better call the cops, fellows......the Party needs some random randiness in its crosshairs....and that's gonna take less pilfered liquor than you had planned on, isn't it?   And a live Bar-Kays's concert ain't goin' happen, you retro-cephalopods.....Too bad that Otis Redding went down with you guys.....You can't stop now , you know!   Get back in there and curl up, dreaming 'there's a change a coming' , even though you know it'll be the same old thing, tomorrow, won't it?
