GREEN GRASS The sun’s a shiny liar sometimes
Makes me think: the universe takes sides with me
That I’m a spot of wonder on the earth
That the silent, shaking hands of God k’chooed my chin at birth
That grass is always greenest in my yard
& the birds will sing their tiny lungs right out in my regard But then I get unhappy
I remember earthquakes in the night
Like when we went to Cincinnati
& you broke my heart like a street lamp
That got shot right out of light The ocean’s altogether far too blue
Makes me think: the love I have in me still belongs to you
That you’re the only harbor I can find
& you somehow forced these stars into my eyes but I don’t mind
That grass is always greenest in your yard
& the birds they sing their tiny lungs right out in your regard But then I get unhappy… Maybe love’s a phony dollar bill
& of all the things we never learned, the best is “shoot to kill” Because I always end up unhappy… © 2005 Reva Williams
