one day
i would like to own a time machine
(which seems to make the first line of this bit irrelevant BUT)
for the sole purpose of going back to the time when the very first leaf emerged from the very first stem and unfurled for the very first time to a sun that had never seen a leaf before, hello small green thing! here is some radiation
and i would like to look upon that small green thing, the very first of a new kind of Life
and i would like to smoke it

Neat! Always love when a Wikipedia page has old scientist beef too
