its’ tyro-technics
shooting out of asphalt cracks.

full of SASS

This poem is fumbling with bra straps
and tongue-tied techniques,

to know any better, it’s wet

willing to SCREAM green
but not part of
a gang green
this poem is all alone
with its words

Its envious of
solar panel studios with eyes on the price
of a venti economy
This poem is the green-eyed monster
of product placement pick-o-the profit
This poem WANTS to make

But really…
This poem just wishes it could sing
