    Story Behind the Song
    Actually written in the 1980s as a meditation of alternate consciousness (called "Stalking the Wild Amoeba"), it was trimmed down and made into a song in 2003, and it took on the current form, which seemed to be the ruminations of an evolving one-celled being.

    Lyrics
    I, Amoeba

    chortling belated
    i sneak into the mist.
    right tackles left,
    uneven brain
    heaven is vast
    eyeballs are round

    dawn panacea
    seizure at ten
    primary sound wave
    evolves laughwards
    flight's not the first time
    we conquered the air
    in breathing it deeply
    its purpose is bare

    i swallow it whole

    my time is a pastime
