Damned Green
I see these images now
of a bunch of men
looking like sticks
with eyes so big
all in green
because you ran out of paint
and all you had
was the DAMNED green
and these images
what do they mean?
I think I just learned them
and did everyone else?
where did they learn them from?
same places I did?
a television show
some hot stud on tee vee
that you're really not attracted to
that you once wanted to be attracted to
maybe it was
maybe it was a high school friend
that wrote these pictures
yes, you did, maybe, thank you
for doing that to me
maybe
maybe it is that
everyone knows these images
and everyone knows them
like the backs of their hands by now
is it that
no one ever knows it
or that everyone does
which is it?
