I really believe that this poem shows when given time all events are
eventually forgotten. "What place is this?", "Where are we now?", it all
shows that what was once a devastating event will be eventually forgotten
just like how we considered Pearl Harbor to be a major event and with time
most forgot about it unless they lived it.

"Grass" is a reminder that tragedies, even those of paramount importance,
are eventually forgotten with time. "What is this place? Where are we
now?", in this poem, grass evidences the working of time and nature to
erase and heal. Even watershed events are eventually erased from memory.
Bodies are buried, names and lives forgotten, the details of history are
forgotten: very gradually, erased from the surface of our awareness.
I am grass let me work.
