match grass

in laymen's terms, its the kind of grass you see on a golden hillside in the middle of summer during the hottest days of the year. This is grass that is devoid of all moisture and is so dry that practically anything will set it, the field, the hill and the whole damn mountain on fire, all in a matter of seconds to minutes.

Grass so sensitive to temperature that unlike a snowflake, if you sneeze or curse at it, will burn every-fucking-thing down to the ground.
