What is the grass?

What is the grass? She asked a top the table
Bracing for ridicule, heart pounding
From the nerve it took to climb.
Our eyes widen for a moment
Then return to our desks,
Content to ignore this bold one who stands in our periphery.
We allow her a moment of rebellion,
Sure that she will climb down, ineffective,
And continue life sitting.

Have you seen "Dead Poet's Society"? The situation was inspired by it.

Oh! Heh. Actually, I got that movie and brought it home and... didn't watch it. (I haven't gotten to be home much.)- Gypsie
