Blue
Tina Drakulich 2014, 2nd edition
Green is binary-
Yellow and blue.
It soaks up sun-
and radiates cool.
Emerald, manicured lawns
like fixed width binary code;
with all of their perfection,
lose something in each manicure.
Pasture is like variable length code.
Browsers graze tender shoots and
transform it again and again
to original form,
meadow grass.
Green meadow grass,
measures the same
in the beginning as in the end;
yellowing under the
infinite, blue sky.
Grass roots grow,
The roots of green Germanate.
words spring forth:
Grun. Green. Grown.
Primitive yellow, primordial blue,
natives of any country.
Mixed,
make sophisticated,
green.
Hopeful spring…
juicy green.
A go signal;
a symbol for youth.
And life.
And innocence.
And hope.
And golf courses.
And money.
And envy.
And energy.
And militaries.
And cemeteries
-with rows of white crosses.
