Green
Rebellion is juvenile entanglement.
Skirts are rolled
And lips stained red
to conceal pleura
poisoned
black.
.
(but they won’t understand
because they skipped eleventh
grade biology).
.
Isn’t the real rebellion in
proper uniform?
.
And like rabbits, blind to
the color that infiltrates the system
as the whim of megalomania,
If the Wizard likes green
All of Oz will wear Emerald.
.
I thought we’d grown
Too old for magic?
.
But then again,
Obsession is verdigris
And compulsion
Is copper.
.
We spend more time
Disguising
Exactly which hue.
