The wind blows the grass down

Why can the wind

Be blowing

That piece of grass down

One moment

And not the next?


There’s a scientific answer

I bet

And usually that’s what I’m looking for.


But it felt poetic that way,

The way the grass is like water and the atoms orbit

In me like moons orbit Jupiter and I know

They’re different things

But right now

I don’t need to know

Why the wind can blow grass down

It will come right back up and then

The piece next to it is blown down

And it seems so obvious

Poetic

I think I should leave it

Like that.

    For their passion


    Stupid

    Is a hero rushing into battle

    they whisper

    like kindergarteners

    who can't stand straight in lines

    but they can jump straight
