Can a living thing be put in a museum?
Take a plant sits in a pot, trimmed to aesthetic
Taste, displayed in its body, memory of a jungle, once
Deep in thought, one finds oneself in a jungle, lost
It’s heart outside in arms open wide, it’s love out-thrust
Look at what once was us, wild living things,
Our ancient humanity, made to exhibit our loss
Or am I just being silly? For the plant outlives history
