Years ago, I found this cobblestone on the street in Brussels with the golden inscription “I USED TO BE A MOUNTAIN.” Like a speech bubble rising from a choked rock. After all these years, I still haven’t been able to find out who made it—there’s no record of it anywhere as a listed artwork. I see it now as a poetic intervention by an anonymous city dweller.

Orchestrated by electrical messages but I think powered by ATP.

    ATP (and any molecule, really) is just a particular configuration of electrical particles that use electromagnetism to hold together some mass.

    I guess if you include the electrostatic interaction in the "powered by electricity" above and not just the common meaning of electricity which is electric current.
