Letters & Leaves
Hotel Morgan & The West Virginia Botanic Garden, West Virginia
I have an obnoxious tendency
To turn
Everything
Into
Words
———
Once one learns how to read
One can never stop
What had been a world
Filled with incomprehensible squiggles
Suddenly becomes legible
Similarly,
Once one learns how to identify plants
One can never stop
What had been a world
Filled with walls of green
Suddenly becomes a complex web
Of old friends
What else
Can completely change
My perception?
