      There’s a bunch of leaves. Wind blows. One leaf gets blown away. It leaves the leaves

      Haiku version:
      There’s a bunch of leaves
      Wind blows. One gets blown away
      It leaves the leaves

      It’s a showerthought about the English spellings being fucked.

      You read read as read, and not as read.
