layers of ferns elongate in perfect harmony
to make a fern-layer. you already knew it would
happen: all your house plants have been quarreling
for years now, and it is high time that
somebody does something. green plants? green
quivering bodies? "no locomotion," botany
department memos read. they have to remind them-
selves of these things: no muscles, no brains, just
green cells making life out of the sun like ingenious
brainless chordates. chords ate in the music luncheon
what they spoke of: feelings and scales. on this level,
all the meatsacks are empty, and speak of longing for
protein and something more substantive then a word
that means mealtime in every walk of life. sun. carbo-
hydrates, getting high on forks before being eating
or getting distracted by sunscreen and cancer-fears.
