Museum of Flowers
The leaf was designed to fly
even though it was born as a leaf
It is not a mean joke
It is the sweetest joke
Before it belonged to this world
it slept the warm, dark sleep
of the pre-world-greenhouse
Picture the tropical rainforest room
at the museum of flowers
with no space between each plant
and the lights off
and no edges
to any plants
or to the room
a vat of nebulous contentment
