plants appear not as objects but subjects

these living, striving beings are trying to make it in the world—

and trying to make the world that they are a part of

as I look around the rooms I see hanging, sitting, cascading

fonds, leaves, flowers

I wonder at their feelings are they lonely, alone in their pots

do they get panicky when I delay watering

does vertigo ensue as I rotate them on the table

and not just to the plants to I querry

I myself take on a more active role as a life form

moving through the world as the world moves through me.
