Three Feet of Grass

Pushed the jungle back a little bit today
Sometimes you have to make a choice
To pick a side -  to work for order or for chaos
I'd been contemplating letting the jungle
Reclaim the lawn, then the house, then whatever
And it was nice to let it go for awhile, but the dew
Every morning on the tall grass wet my shoes
Mowed a path in the back too
Maintaining something I promised I would
Why are you on my mind again?
