Plots

Plots

A small patch of grass offers refuge
to the worn out soles of feet
that walk on concrete paths

No one noticed as they passed
orderly and manicured to fit
the plots that line the streets

Meanwhile, a small patch nearby
adorns a plaque that reads;
"In memory of a life once lived"

I guess I only have one question: for the line "No one noticed as they passed", what is it that is being unnoticed? The small patch of grass?

Hi,
see my first crit punctuation on this.I agree that it is unclear. Punctuation would help but the sentence structure belongs to the writer. I see it as:
"No one noticed as they passed, ordered and manicured to fit, the plots that line the streets"

I interpret it as:
" As they passed, no one noticed the plots--ordered and manicured to fit-- that line the streets."

I would write it as:
" Passers-by did not notice the ordered and manicured plots that line the streets."

...but others will have their own ideas
Best,
tectak
