classless society in a moss glossary


Radicles Rootlets growing from the stem.

Radiculose With radicles.

Retuse Obtuse and slightly indented.

Revolute Rolled backwards, as of the leaf margin.


a found poem from the Manual of Hawaiian Mosses, by Edwin B. Bartram,

Bernice P. Bishop Museum, Honolulu, Hawaii (1933:267)


radiculose revolute

normal font of love & joy

easy to forget the retuse obtuse indented part

think of imperfections mutations

as the rootlets of all art


as of the leaf margin

talking leaves, rolled backward

classless society was a good start

created human being

we were sane before the mart
