A cancer researcher spoke of "chimerization".  I made this wondering if I am a land or sea creature; reaching into it as dusk turned to dark on a hot summer day with wave sounds close. I commune with bot because Terrestrial and submarine systems are One.   No glitz here to distract; a form  drenched in mud melted, the crucible of life.  When a friend named it "Chimera" I looked it up and read, "one meaning as "A fire-breathing she-monster usually represented as a composite of a lion, goat, and serpent.".
