Grass is a taut crew;

[AmyMichelleMosier]

Grass is a taut crew;
   They stand at attention
As soldiers do
   With orders from the sun –

Never having thoughts
   That their purpose is trite
Or any nagging doubts
   Or need of strife

That'd disturb their ranks.
   How exemplary –
I whispered to one blade –
   To live as they.
