There are formerly sessile cattle suspended in the air. Imagine
the discovery that not all plants are phototropic. Luis, a meat-packer,
writhes in agony in the rendering room. There are special employees
of the Company, ambulance chasers. It seems that the likeliest
candidates for non-phototropic plants are cacti, with their external
spines. The ambulance chasers follow men like Luis to emergency
rooms, where they offer to foot the bills, on behalf of the Company,
for appendage reattachments and internal damage (of various sorts
such as lacerated livers) in exchange for a signature. The carcasses
begin to drop one by one from the hooks high above. The skinned
cattle accumulate. The company is never responsible. Some plants
cannot grow toward light, whether we assume that they do or not.
