Grass Blade

As the first blade bends, 
                             Grass Blade murmurs,
"I bend, but do not break."
                                               Foot
keeps coming down.  
                               Passionate Grass Blade 
mounts a campaign:  
      Grass blades henceforth 
                           to be made of glass.
   Feet henceforth 
                               to travel shoeless.
People walk away —
                                           Why get hurt?
Oak Tree observes,
                               "Feet are not  relevant."
