Overread at Booth 3: Poem of the Day "Arboretum of Plastic Leaves"

Arboretum of Plastic Leaves


It is not enough
to imagine a garden, or an
arboretum. Some place with
plants with leaves so thick and
solid that they appear almost to be made
of plastic, and glistening with a luster as
to almost appear as though they had been
painted, and covered with a protective coat.

Leaves such as these, should surely
Shade us, as we walk through the garden,
Hand in hand, pretending ourselves to be
Ken and Barbie,

Or at least,
Adam and Eve.
