Walking the Tall Grass

 

Walking the Tall Grass

If you walk in the tall grass, say

in June,

           when the grass is waist high,

     you're going to be stung by something

or another.

  But if you dont walk in the tall grass

       you’ll miss all those wild

                                             flowers

showing off their palate of vibrant colors.

    & you'll miss the 15 swallows performing

aerial acrobatics

      eating some of the things

that would like to sting you.
