Dirt Song

By Joe Wilkins

The shortgrass prairie has suffered the greatest biological destruction of any major biome in North America. –Wikipedia

This is blue grama,
a short, spiky grass of the high plains,

whose roots run twice
as wide and ten to twelve times

as deep
as the plant itself. Lean

down to the slender stem
and listen.

  • Week 10 means Review Week of Winter Term – a lot of posters coming off the machines this week.
  • Robotics competitions are beginning – Jonah’s team did very well this past weekend.
  • Running and training for the 50k come April, although I have slowed down on mileage but will get there in time for the  Gorge Waterfalls.
  • Reading: Bowerman and the Men of Oregon. A theme is emerging – lovely book, so locally set I can taste it about the man who put Eugene on the running map.
  • Listening: We Are The World, after having watched the Netflix documentary, The Greatest Night In Pop. What a look back in time. Beautiful.

This is a now page, and if you’ve your own site, you could make one too.
