The root from which all things sprout
is here in the center.
Links and trunks originate from a much deeper place
than where they stand.
The place of their conception never does touch them---
not when they've been placed and neither when they've grown.
Growth leads to more growth.
This hyper-extension attracts attention.
If the trees did grow as fast as the silk zero-one threads,
children would sit outside and watch,
wondering if they could grow as fast, too.
But they'll experiment first with seeds.
They'll learn to be expert gardners,
not so much to build a forest, as to occupy themselves
with something that grows quickly.
But when they discover that trees don't tell stories,
they'll move on to another part of the web,
wishing their arms and legs would grow so much more faster.

when life gives you roots, make rootbeer.
Pollen have no roots.
It just follows the wind from place to place.
Sometimes, bringing life to wilted flowers.
Other times, irritating them.
