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?
