A botanical study in civic disengagement
🎩 Observation:
There they sat. Five human succulents.
Photosynthesizing under fluorescent light.
Not a word. Not a nod. Not even a wilt.
Just still life in polyester.
💬 Owner questions?
No response.
Concerns about the overdraft?
Dead silence.
A plea for accountability?
A faint rustle – perhaps a leaf brushing another leaf.
🧠 Diagnosis:
Catatonic governance.
Botanical bylaw interpretation.
They seemed unsure if they were attending a meeting or auditioning for a greenhouse exhibit titled “Democracy on Mute.”
📈 Outcome:
Owners came with questions.
The board came with chlorophyll.
🌿 Moral of the story:
If leadership were measured in oxygen output, they might have been useful.
But alas – no shade, no fruit, no roots.
Just pots. On a stage. Paid with your money.
