Flourishing Colony

There is now a colony
of thousands of individuals.
The colony keeps rising.
It keeps rising until it reaches
the surface.
They do not carry on
above the surface.

How can we account for
the generally accepted explanation?
The broken fragments
above the former surface
are found in all the world.
They are restricted.
They flourish
in spite of the limitations.

- a found poem from "Coral Islands" in The New Book of Popular Science, volume 2. Grolier Inc., 1984, p. 221.
