A green myth
to explain away why things
just aren’t quite right
and the briar patch of ages
twists in verdant sinister ways
The familiar snag and scratch
bleeds differently
and won’t be soothed the same
so welts scar visible
and tell tales
New normals are bandied about
with as much thought
as the path that led here
and the beatification of old normal
is sealed

and tell tales
New normals are bandied about
with as much thought
as the path that led here
and the beatification of old normal
