Ah the Fecundity!
Kenneth Setzer
Such bliss, you'll only serve to disturb. Nemophilists escape distraction in the intangible few moments before green slams into black. Quiescent gloaming; this is the domain of spores, ferns, fungi, pteridomania. A show put on solely for my benefit. Swinging in my Pulhamite grotto, you say I accomplish nothing. This is no recondite hedonism; but the height of being, of an ennobling and purifying effect.
To innumerable shades of chlorophyll subfusc I know I can return. Pagans, heathens, and barbarians take heed and join me. Fleeting glances I capture; I am allowed. My greatest and only fear is that I am the only one.
