Chapter 1

In a sea of indistinguishable green

You have stood out to me


I’ve searched for years

digging through stems

And counting leaves


Only for my counting to come short

One two three

One two three

One two three


All these years

I’ve found nothing to marvel at

No beautiful abnormalities

Or wonderful oddities


Desperately I have searched

For something different

in a world that is sickeningly the same

As I was ready to end my search,

I found you


You were buried beneath a thick patch of three-leaved clovers

A patch I have searched over and over


But this time I dug deeper

And there you were


I plucked you from the ground

And excitedly counted

One two three

Four


In a sea of mediocrity

You are a marvel

A peculiarity worth picking


You are something wonderfully unique

You are exceedingly rare

How lucky am I to have found you
