The ugliest shade of green

The ugliest shade
Of green
We envy
The car
The job
The marriage
We do not know
The price they paid
Paid
Not with cash
With blood, sweat and tears
But most of all
With time

(2014)

Waiting for the doctor

Clinical smells Polite strangers The only thing worse Than being here Is to not be able
