    Thin grass growing between cracks in a stone patio. Lincoln, Massachusetts.

    Answer

    Dear jfc, it looks like you have a species of Eragrostis (love grass) here. I can't tell you which one from the photographs, but a common species is Eragrostis pilosa (India lovegrass) that is frequent in human-disturbed habitats throughout the northeast. Best wishes.
