The leaves of the wildflower, St. John's Wort, have little spots through which light shines. Just hold up the leaves and you will see their
fenestrate nature. The yellow flowers are attractive, too.
[E.P.S. is wise to warn us not to tempt fate by partial
defenestration, though. Just ask him. Go ahead. See what he says.]
Words are a game. Sometimes I play alone, but I encourage YOU to play, too.
