Analytical Green

Analytical Green
Is Putrid 
Spent to fast 
Gained too slow
Maybe it's Olive
Or seafoam green
No matter the color 
It is our uprising
Into a vast dominion
Of analytical green
Pea green
Just like vomit
The things that make 
Us puke
The things we gain
To lose 
Emerald like the 
Eyes on the back
Of a dollar bill

Quite profound, Shane. I like the way you used various shades of green to express things. LUv, andrea
