Medusozoa
my younger brother asked why i wasn’t married.
i am more interested in a marine biology lab
in kyoto that claims some jellyfish are effectively immortal.
that they transform, medusa to polyp,
that they regress to a stage of sexual immaturity.
i am more interested in a research center
at the university of hawaii that describes some jellyfish toxins
as promiscuous.
for two years i studied japanese.
the word for jellyfish:
kurage: characters for sea, ocean
and moon. also:
mother.
