FORESTS OF TIME: An ecological eulogy 

	in ancient forests time runs deep
	as space expands with kuntless seeds
	& branches sweigh kunstantly
	as memories kumpost
	among rotting leaves

	look at forests wid discerning ayes
	see whare thare hidden patterns liegh

	feel tha breath ah each tree
	& remember
	furrests are cradles
	aye – they argh the lungs
	ah so many beings!

	as bulldozers work relentlessly
	across the planet,
	will they becum our cement-
	aries?


Tara:   (shaking her head) What's the author trying to accomplish with this mutant spelling?

Noel:   Don't you realize? All of us are mutants.

Gwen:   Besides, such spelling is more interesting: additional shades of meaning can be conveyed.

Orapan: The relationship between structure and meaning is fascinating to explore, 
        but to be frank why should we care? Aren't we already overloaded with information?
