Vincent the Plant's
green-dressed chlorophyll
is the keeper of our health.
Without his regularly recycled air
and his stoicism,
the world would theoretically
stop and wobble off its axis,
and just may, someday.
Without the breath of Vincent
planted firmly in the room, C247
life would eventtually be choked out of us.
But this plant sometimes wishes he was
the motorcycle riding Vincent in green who
plays the narrator and
apologizes to girls on his cellphone in the hallway and
will soon walk out the door
for the last time, "leafing" the leafy
Vincent behind.
