UNDERNEATH
There at two ways of doing this –
that is - finding out what’s beneath
this green grass called our backyard.
A good steel shovel or spade
with a sharp metal tip or one
of those gadget metal detectors.
I’d start with the metal detector
and then start digging – cutting into
the grass and then the brown earth.
Or be the poet and see families for
the past 200 years – enjoying picnics,
parties, games on this back lawn.
