Chased plankton-bloom and shoals of shrimp.
Snapping and crushing pod, rock crustacean and mollusk.
Sucked in krill, chambered length of toothed red worm,

Taking in, or not taking the chance.
Improving, or denying, in the immediate persistent situation, momentarily to react, and to reaction, reactively reflexively adjusted to changing outer

Increasing the size, and consumption of smaller local prey.
Shape shifting along, become inedible, too large, too tough, too cunning.
Each success adding a physical and neurological pathed potential,

oval open mouthings, brown green cucumber slug, and red-blooded worm.
Nibbling, at sea-lettuce and cabbage, bladderwort, mustard broccoli and cauliflower. Opening leaf seed flower and lower nut casing in water; beaded and flowing off, over waxy smooth-cuticle.
Feeding from leaf white and more colour reflective plant, seed pollinated and budded. After brief recovery, resealed, reformed, rested, tested and searching again, winding and unwinding off, reverseways through the vegetation, coral forest, tiny crustacean washed-off, to fall and float, snapped up in droves.
Carapaced; slug crustacean, tactile tentacled mollusk, stuck to and crawling imperceptibly, assuredly along the protective sides. Scallop shelled limpet, slow and slippery clamfish. Water beetle resting, from potential assault, hiding in the watery slime mould and sand. Tiny lampshell clam, armoured giant sea-scorpion; dragging four pairs of legs and long tail.
Surviving, incidentally, overcamouflaged nest, and pit-trap lair. Unsuspecting other, lured accidentally into capture. Exhuming the crabmeat, with toe nail clawed pincer. Moving onto and unable to crack resin shellaced barnacle, limpid limpet occupant, left-alone.
Ignoring, the hidden colourless background periwinkle,
creeping along the edge. The attempting scavenger predator prey.

Taking-in, and flashing out, a danger-signal, for or against, homing-in on lighter, or more shaded parts; that could propitiously be-food, that could be-fed. Small insect-crustacean, starfish brittle-feather sea-cucumber, sea-lilies, sea-squirt, starfish scaly feathery-flesh, surviving-mussel, filter feeding through rudimentary dentine, pulp hardened enamel ringed-teeth, sieving from the water, the chambered fleshed clam shell hinge, snapped tight-shut.
Closing, snapping shut, the interred, newly budding forms entombed, enwombed. Flapping pentagonal furry ciliate starfish limbic extension points,
floating and rising, muscle fat and bone beaked, pouched venomous stinging speared; muscle fibred starfish assault, defended against by laired rock caverned shell shrimp and crab claw crawling, ambushed.
Into coral stony-fortress sheltered, cleaned, picked on by butterfly winged fish-finned, biting through rock, sandy tropical-beach, exhausted, and deposited. Lamprey, grasping rasping blood sucking tube, sea to freshwater dying, after-spawning, digging holes for watery larvae-to-mature, to parasitic form and structure; through conductive insulating and isolating filament, electro-plated receptor and transducer, aware scanning-sensors, rapid-firing stimulators...triggering hydraulic corpuscular-flow.

Triggering and conserving morphological bodily-change. Reproducing-swelling, fattening, hardening, sensing. Thwarting larger-predator, with exaggerated swollen shape, hidden daylight poly-chrome multi-colour; mopping-up nightblind sightless-prey, before even knowing there is a scavenging predator-there. Jellyfish, soft beaked octopus, sharp-beaked feeding intelligent squid, hood-headed mantle eight ganglia legged, paddled through warm waters, specialized segmented octopus, charged and gored.
Waiting, sitting haunched, hunched tension sprung and suddenly pouncing horn toothed. Mineral calcite depositing around articular tissue connected parts. Load and shear stress built layer, cementing tidelines. Diametric building rods, layering fine thread lacunae matrix, pourous spongy bony interstices attached to gulping mouth and letting, feathery jaw-boned hinged- mouth opening-body. Feeding, foundational each droplet supporting Each One and Each Other: grouped-together species and specimen floating-upwards towards the apparent source of light.
Turned over to feed from the surface algic and plankton mite,
massed ridden plains, above the wrack. Between towering branching bladder wrack, remaining tiny vesicules, twitched and flitted, photo-trophic light eating bugs, numeric-algorithm genetic-mutation, slowly-exercising hovering on the underwater-waves.

For growth and mobility, dissolving, renewing, to muscle powering along,
reaping the benefit, into the next-spawning. Disappearing, flat and lifeless, running along the bottom; to take off glide and to swim, upwards-again, into, and toward the light. In shallow clear-water’s dense tangled weed, provoked and retaliating as one, minnows in swarm; zig-zagging away from snappering sharp teeth, frenzied feeding on massed smaller shoal turning rapidly to vortex; three-dimensional four-directional chance-reducing capture, moving into and out of the center the larger and older at the perimeter, smaller and younger in the centre; any missing, un-chancing, abandoned. Spiraling-upwards, and along the social chase, into the darkened-depths.

Congealed pointed and sharpened tail-fin, tooth and claw, tacking muscle mouthing jaws and lips. With the gums drawn back, lined with single and double and triple rooted, calcium enamelled ring. Flat cobbled, and filed down fiercely toothed razor sharpened-rows. Wrap-around shadows’ top-hardening, layering membranous plate. Swimming turtle shell section, fish scales falling from the eyes from the golden-red and yellow, grey-blue sand, newly opened turtle-fin flapping, and immediately darting into the water in their droves...moving-along internally assembling rodded, threaded connectively built; funneling vortexing through the water, single sharp raised shark-fin.

Pheromonal and geographical lessons, imbued each fulfilling halveling, to find-our-way...creating new pathways…forgotten and re-taken over and over…differently new-connections with functional-help or hindrance. One to None. Eventually to survive at All. And the open Ocean vast-aquaria, the wonder of being adrift passed, in confident passive rolling, touching, and turning-in unveiling luminescence. As if gently exercising gliding-past and touching accidentally vaguely unnoticing, attracting and alarming.
Moving-toward or away carefully-brushing past and effortlessly away.
Sensing-urging, consuming and life-saving movement, nurturing to preserve the few, leaving the many to fend for themselves with the chance that some will survive, to their next-re-generation.
Glinting through a haze of liquid effervescence.
Being drawn upwards, towards the light, each swimmer needed to be aware; avoiding-collision, with Other; by-accident, by-miscued degree, of perceived mathematical or logical, intentional-movement, anticipatory associative, reflex and memory-generating, guessing-at reactive-feedback, and learned-behaviour; aggressive and passive submissive, or attacking; in successful, or unsuccessful trial and error, survival; living value, to trial; and to trail-again.
Unable to dive deeper, or float higher.
Unable to experience the surface, or the deepest depths.
Existing in the water surrounding, ranging thermostatic pressure pumping, in-depth ranging, nothing else existing, beyond, except it would seem; mystery and oblivion, everything-else, stretching endlessly-away.
A surface tension looming, through floating bulbous weed and wrack; seething algae and grey-brown moving mass, reflecting the colours of the deepest-depth. Beyond and above, in the distant gloom, the blazing vestiges of original luminous, reflecting, sparklings through the finally retreating waters...a multitude of stars continued to shine, emblazoned incandescent blazing tails like glittering tadpoles, soared, and fell.
