Symbiosis in the Sea
Organisms mutually
reciprocate within the sea:
remora and a feeding shark
share a meal through the dark.
Anemones and hermit crabs
protecting as the other grabs
while coral and its algae give
energies to each to live
- and then the shrimp and goby's pact:
the former cleans, the latter acts.
So naturally, they educate:
"survival" means "collaborate."
