Chuck,
        Looks like it may be a variety of Nutsedge. I have a ton of it
in my beds too; so it grows from SC to MA. Seen here:

Good luck.

Mystery to me anyway

Note the very deep V groove running down the center of the blade.  That 
should be a key marker for something.  I don't know what it is but 
there's lots of it growing in my back yard where grass seed was strewn 
and then covered with straw.  I'm hoping it's a grain grass like wheat, 
barley, oats, etc and it all came in as seeds with the straw.  If so, 
it's an annual and I don't have to worry about it next year. 
Otherwise... oh, it's pretty tall and ugly amongst the fescue and 
Kentucky blue grass.

This is on topic since this is a 50/3.5 Zuiko macro image shot on Canyon

film.  But I was too lazy to get out the tripod.
