Gratitude and Grain

7 May

Ears of wheat, nod and wave was we meet.

Nodding, waving heads destined to make our bread.

Ears of barley, stand sharply!

Are full of good cheer, happy, making our beer.

Oats, nod, sway, and bow along the ridge.

Eventually to become porridge.

Golden and green bow the heads of rice,

Willing to fill bowls steamed, boiled, or spiced.

Did we domesticate seed to meet our growing needs?

Or without fanfare or fuss, they gradually domesticated us.
