I don't know, Roger. I disagree with MaryAnn about the political implications of 'congress', but there's a lot sexuality implied - congress, obscenity, the post-coital condition of the plants - all indications of life making the struggle despite the odds.
I could see this as the memories someone undergoing puberty - even on a philosophical level, trying to work out the morality of sexuality in the context of right and wrong (looking for chinks of light ?) - but I can't see it as the memories of a child.
Just first impressions. I haven't looked at it intensely, yet.
