Gardening For Idiots

Tuesday, the 15th of January, 2002 at 6:40pm
Upon a hill it came to pass that a speck of glass grew into a tree. The tree coiled and spread wings of reflection. The wings were mirrors fragmentary. Branches of sharded leaves were strong and beautiful. One day there came Monkey wandering in the forest about the hill. He looked up and saw this striking and individual tree, deciding there and then to make it his home.

Time passed and Monkey sat on a branch, admiring his surroundings. The fruit of summer fell to the ground, resolving a part of a part of a cycle. Monkey caught one of the glittering leaves and admired his reflection. It cut into his hands however and blood poured from his wounds. Unconcerned was Monkey, for fascination can be strong indeed; two red rivers flowed and fed the tree. Monkey slept with closed (I).

Cuckoo flew in the skies above the forest and was, like Monkey drawn to this singular tree. Seeing it's simian fellow she grew envious and not appreciating it's own beauty Cuckoo brought forth a jealous seed and planted it within Monkey, becoming a new heartbeat. The rivers became a flood and Monkey awoke startled, crying out in sorrow. Now all he had was pain and Cuckoo had the reflection.

Gradually Monkey's waging became the cackle of Cuckoo, his body sickened whilst all around life blossomed. Jester saw this peculiar sight as he came dancing along the earthen path. He began to laugh at this sorry creature gazing with rheumy eyes at the fruit of a year long dead, oblivious to the once again blossoming tree. The laughter infuriated Cuckoo with it's easy and open character for her own charms became unpleasant in its presence. Cuckoo's retorts however only served to make Jester laugh yet louder as it danced around the hill ever upwards; Cuckoo was overwhelmed and shrunk from view.

Monkey felt empty, having no more volition, vocation or values than a corpse. Jester chuckled with good-humoured charity and offered the flower that grew from its spine. As Monkey took hold of this bloom, the cutting shard of glass fell from his grasp and the flower filled his wounds. Within him its roots formed a new tree banishing Cuckoo and sending it to flight (for now). Monkey fell inside the tree and now became a speck, then a chuckle and dancing to become Jester.
