A friend took me to the sea
and taught me how to swim.
I came home and played
with these half human,
half diatom-type
creatures,
and just
kept on going.

After naming
this piece
"Navigate"
I found a definition
of naviculoid:
"(biology)
Referring
to a diatom,
boat-shaped."
at Answers.com

I read about
"the state of flux
of the current
taxonomy and
nomenclature
of diatoms"
at Tentative key.

I reflected on

Henri Bergson
and his notion
of reality
as the flux
of space
and
time.

Now I think
of my first
sea voyage
