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

thot i heard david suzuki say

political apathy biggest obstacle in our way
bigger problem than species extinctions
bigger problem than warming and storming
bigger problem than greedy corporations
bigger problem than technococooning our kids
bigger than any other problem you can name
because if no one can crack the apathy open
just long enough to elect representatives sane

no pressure, no leaders, no policy will change
we'll get used to more pain and more acid rain
we'll adjust, thicken skins, shrug off disasters
replace bandaids with bigger pills and plasters
swallow bigger lies build bigger resentments
drown in a swamp of cheap consumerist contentments
