The endless search for the missing link
may not just relate to a human hunt
as most of us were taught to think.
Could there be a nexus between animal and plant?

Giant clams lacking guts exist and thrive
deep down around hydrothermal vents.
No way the play of sunlight can keep them alive;
like plants, they chemo-synthesize.

If, at the thought of their enormous girth,
you visualize them on a platter all yummy –
run away fast for all you’re worth –
lest rotting eggs’ odor appeals to your tummy.
Deep in the Ocean
A Clam that Acts Like a Plant
