If you've ever gone out into a field and saw grass you probably think less of it. To me; I relate to it actually. To the untrained eye each blade looks exactly the same but with a little attention to detail you can plainly see Grass communicating and giving up after it doesn't get what it wants and then spreading it's argument to the rest of the world.
Grass happens to be a unique plant family. The family has ties with Corn, Wheat, Barley, Phalaris, various "weeds", and plain old lawn grass. It has connections to Cattail, the earth itself, the soil it grows in. It even leaves a tiny, tiny mark wherever you step. it's around when you are. If you pluck it it usually responds by coming outside of the earth. If you water it it actually grows and develops color. If you dry it out and give it nothing and there's nothing for it to sustain itself like all organisms Grass dies off and is forgotten about.
Grass tells you a story; do you listen to it? It develops drugs like Grammine (essentially a communication if you will; "I have something very precious growing inside me and I know how you can be") which are also of little interest and paid very little attention to humans.
Grass gets cut, Grass is just a plant you don't want to grow because when it's wild it physically makes it harder for humans to walk around because it surprises us with how big it is; how it's a physical obstacle forcing ourselves to think more carefully about where we go in life and what we're stepping on. Grass is such a big family.
