they hijacked my mind, man -

sensory grass

tickles your toes
soft pokes
every word is a stroke
of a blade

Let Jacqueline, Jacque, and sophisticated Parisians rave about the Eiffel Tower
Romantic poets write in egregious excess of their cozy, intimate leafy bowers

There's been bedlam down at the food bank store
Rushing and shoving through the opened door
I've even seen fighting there on the floor.
