i want to be the green
that old hands put in the back seat
and take home to color
living the ever
constant threat of
dying

i want to be the green
on the back of the nursery
truck that will transform
the ownership of a hope filled
piece of dirt into
a home

i want to be the green
in the packages on sale
ten for a dollar
clutched in the i get to
plant my very first garden
hand of a child

i want to be the green
that holds up the happy faces
of the sunflowers that wave
to me from the back of the
take me home and fill
each room with smiles
car

i want to be the green
of the vine that miniature
honey suckled warriors
thrust and parry their swords
to guard with wary delight
the trumpet's crown

i want to be the green
of the garden in which
you seek refuge
peace and inner healing
in this strip your soul bare
world

i want to be the green
you are on the right road
go only forward not back
never turning red or yellow
light

i want to be the green...

If that's the case, then I want to be green too, I really, really love this poem, it's great.

The tragedy of it is that nobody sees the look of desperation on my face. Thousands and thousands of us, and we're passing one another without a look of recognition.
