ONE  BLADE  OF  GRASS

Come on now, we’re all worth

more than a blade of grass – even

though there are millions of us.

But sometimes, the way we

treat each other, the way we cut

each other down,  I’m not so sure!

But then again there was that

blade of grass he used to tickle

his girl friend’s left ear on the lawn.

And then there was that blade of

grass she use to mark a poem

on page 63 in a book of poems.
