Global warming and pollution had left the world with just one cherry blossom tree. Thousands gathered and waited for it to bloom. Alas, only a single blossom made it to maturity.It was so beautiful, people fainted.
Society is adaptable and decided to imbue beauty on objects never thought of in those terms. Telephone poles, ice cubes, sewer grates, cellophane, rust, shower curtains, and turtles. Parks filled with people photographing turtles on rocks.
Joe avoided that horde, deciding to sit on a bench and observe the intricate beauty of pond scum. He imagined its tactile impression upon his bare skin. He stood and stripped and waded into the pond. Unfortunately, he was unaware of the snapping turtles swimming under water.
He is now known as Josephine.
