The Green Says Stop

shadows hover over my head
i wake up beneath the surface
between coffee and cigarettes
the smoke fogs the vision
blur like censored porn
there's no point hiding
go out and about
around and uncertain
the egg hatches no chicks
just more and more questions
not puzzles, not mazes
but answers without process
like not understanding
against will and versus the deal
trying too much will hurt
but i went and gone green
but the green says stop
...i said red.
