Salt.
It powers the ion channels that gives them existence
Responsible for the rising phase of action potentials, it gave them the capacity to speak to each other
And speak to themselves
The Cnidarians were the first to form a nervous system, to form a oneness of perception from many
Jellied phantoms on the winds of the sea receiving, interpreting and reacting to information
Seeking sustenance and to perpetuate their pattern across spacetime
Signals in a sea of noise
