The Man in the Grass Colored Shirt

It will blend
With his phone
With his watch
With his agility
With his guile

Against the lawn
He is not set
Rather he is fixed
Affixed, if you are so affected

It's easier for him 
Being green than anything so distinct
As yellow
Or blue blazes
Or limelight (on the too-bright side)

Honey bees acknowledge him
With the passivity all creatures owe
To their counterparts in existence

Squirrels may skitter upon him
In their haste to return 
To safer, manless heights

None but he acknowledge the passions
That led him to the edge of mowed society
To blend in with not his fellows
Rather among yielding leaves of grass
