Amongst the tall grass
everything is short

and everything is quiet amongst these walls of forts

nothing can be seen, amongst the waves of green

but yet the vermin move by

invisible trails I deem

And only in the tall grass

where time and space don't move fast

the blades of grass conceal mass

for demons that strike fear fast

and birds dare not land too quick

for creatures just like arsenic

are quick to make the grass twitch

and slowly move away

so perhaps don't choose the tall grass

only move on safe paths

and maybe if you move fast
you'll even get away

and here I wait in silence

alone, I am an island

and when you see the grass twitch

you know I've been that way
