There are some funny lines from They Might Be Giants' "Women and Men" that run along the same lines:

Women and men have crossed the ocean,

They now begin to pour

Out from the boat and up the shore.

Two by two they enter the jungle,

And soon they number more,

Three by three as well as four by four.

Soon the stream of people gets wider,

Then it becomes a river,

River becomes an ocean,

Carrying ships that bear

Women and men.

Borges: map of an area gets so detailed it becomes the same size as the area.

TMBG: creatures multiply and ultimately overrun an area so fully that their group behavior recreates the ecology of the area they took over
