Leaf Ericcson; 2008-2008

I couldn't believe my eyes...on the desk of my friend lay a leaf fetus. Let's call him "Ericcson," son of Eric the Red Leaf. Discarded like a two of clubs in some card game where the two of clubs isn't a good card, no longer nutritionalized, the fetus deprived of its life source--its mother, "mother earth,"--lay still (un)born.

I don't think Ericcson was intentionally plucked prematurely, but rather his death was the result of excessive chloryphll abuse, a 3 day binge. He thought he would become Incredible Hulk-like if he took enough of the "green stuff."

Like a bum on the subway platform, everyone did their best to ignore Ericc. Luckily for his sake, he didn't smell like urine and rescued he was by a nameless, but very attractive, man. Now his legacy can go on even though he cannot. Oddly he had a twin, Dericcson, that survived.
