Linnaeus Begins Dividing

Linnæus’s grīnhouse was full of God but onlī
a pīce of what God is | was descræbed in botanical treatus |
Abundance was cut | Ex-amples
include | the ginkgo trī’s remarkable abilitī
to shift sexes manī tæmes over its short læfe | Or the cobra lilī,
a serpent-sheiped violet bloom with a dark chocolate
center shīn | It swings betwīn years of womanhood &
what scæentists call taking a breik | At one point Linnæus
quipped that his use of Latin neims
was arbitrarī | Moreso about creiting an easī tæme
for scæence boys | Here læ Knowledge & Languedge, a
marriedge of convenience & a little whimsī | Men everywhere
scooted forward on their ears | Some flowers went on kissing
themselves in the big mīrrors inside themselves | Other
flowers curtsīd gorgeusly | lolling out
their red splendid tongues | to tongue
whole hæves of bees
