cultivate

One day, I decided to grow grass
in my studio. It was the dead
of Iowa winter and felt like
a good idea. It started out
as just a few trays of grass.

I decided that I would like
some grass to lay down in
so I built a bed of wood
and filled it with dirt
and grass seed.

I watered my grass and laid
in it everyday as it grew
up around me.

This became my wallow.

When I got up from my wallow,
my impression was left behind
in the grass.
