gardens among us; we celebrate you
in pink + white, our opal legacy

I am an animal and other animals are animals
I am an animal and other animals are anomalies
I am an anomaly and other anomalies are animals are anteaters are astrologists
I am an aardvark and other animals are anatomies
I am an antibody/body anybody and other bodies are ontological
I am an ontology and other ontologies are litanies
I am longwinded and thieving
I am thieving and thriving
I am an ameba an anemone an enemy anything an analysis
I am, and here we are harmony
cut teeth teeth kiss
