hair grass

the grass grows wild 
and unruly like my son's hair 
during the lockdown 
long enough to curl and tumble 
like the mop I love to ruffle 

let the grass grow wild 
invite bees and butterflies 
grasshoppers to flit between 
dancing lallang 

i dread the end 
when this lush paradise
will be 
cropped
manicured 
uniformly snipped
the wild grass tamed 
so no wild flowers can bud
in this staightjacketed greencity
