green

bring me to the land of green.

 

green trees

green seas

green me.

 

brand new,

cracking out of my shell with

the egg tooth that never

quite fell.

 

make me green again

please.

i've been old too long.

 

what is it like to take in the sun

in the mornings

where the temperature

reads centigrade instead of

farenheit?

 

green as the day i was born.

green as the sea whose salt air burns me.

green as the tree i was hatched in.

 

green as the day

the temperature read in

centigrade.
