The poem air plant is a procedurally generated text dependent on atmospheric, meteorological, and astronomical conditions on the day it is composed—much as a plant also depends on these conditions.

When read aloud, it is meant to subsist in the air like a living thing: an air plant.

Each postcard contains one line taken from a specific instance of air plant. They are called “clippings” to liken them to the clipped-off shoot of a plant, which may then be transplanted elsewhere and begin to acquire its own life.
