What the Lawns Know

 

Creatures –

                    They crawl, lope, run, slither, and walk

Across the lawns on errands of their own

Looking for love, or looking to kill and eat

 

And I –

                     I tread, creak, ride, shuffle, and walk

Across the lawns on errands of my own

With lawnmower and power tools and carts

 

And we –

 

                   Someday

The lawns will cover all of us
