Tiny grass dreaming

Do not disturb

says the grass green sign
sprouting from blades
of a similar color,

tiny grass is dreaming

And if you peer closely,
squint a bit, you might
see tiny eyelids closed

on those leaves of grass,
infinitesimal lashes
fluttering in sleep,

growing as they rest,
babies not ready for
the weight of feet,

so for now, shhhhh!
Keep off, please—
tiny grass dreaming

mini dreams, growing
big and strong for
your soles to one day

walk upon.
