Everyone's lawns are infested with wild onion around these parts, and they are aromatic in the spring.

I automatically equate the aroma to mowing the lawn as that makes it smell even stronger, but the lawn must be mowed.

Kudzu is another plant, it infests the woods down here to where you can't navigate through it.

The thing is they are quite intelligent and are suppose to have very good memories. That means they not only know they can't kiss but they remember being aware of this. Now if that isn't proof of the existence of evil I don't know what is.

But they can! They use their enormous flexible proboscis to give a wet, sloppy proboskiss. A bit like eskimos do, I'd imagine, except scaled up (or is eskimo not a PC word anymore? I think it might be Inuits, these days.)

I'm sure they are smart enough to know that is just semantics, nose rubbing semantics at that.
Poor pachyderms,
never to know a tender kiss.
Nature was remiss,
to insist upon a proboscis,
...
Now what the hell rhymes with pachyderm?

Perhaps, but appearance and reality often seem to be two different things.

That is a given...
But agave gives relevance to reality and appearance
Beauty though, overcomes in all facets, no matter...

Blind people don't perceive beauty in the same way as we do. Does this difference make them think differently about the world and life. Do our perceptions determine our thoughts?
Edit: I should qualify that by adding 'Blind from birth' I guess.
