A handful of molecules moved around
the universe this one time. Long story
shrunk, they became "me." (In
photographs the quotation marks
are invisible.) Lots of them get
replaced in the usual organismic
way, plus haircuts, etc. Soon and
very soon, all molecules that account
for "me" will be released back to
the universe at large, and what
a large it is. They'll keep on
moving, as if they'd merely
paused at a roadside diner.
A little molecular traveling
music, if you please, maestro.
