The greenest eyes you'll see

Green
an ocean of glass spread neatly across everything
like being under water when all sound is muted
and little air bubbles tickle your nose
like mustard spread upon a starch white piece of bread.
and how the smell makes you gag
like when you see a picture of starving children
and how they dont have any shoes
like people that walk on fire
and how their burning flesh smells like marshmallows
like when you were a little kid gathered by a fire
and how the flames lit up the darkness
like the single light bulb in your closet
and how you cry in the dark when your lost
like when your wondering on a unfamiliar road
and nothing makes sense
like a math equation that never ends
and your brain starts hurting
like you need a tylenol
and you cant find the pharmacy around the block
like the little girl next door
and how she lost her dog yesterday
like every other little girl with a dog
and how she crys everytime you see her
like the lady that works the cash register at mcdonalds
and how she looks so depressed and mistaken
like the people in the magazines who smile
and act like they love their bodies and who they are
like how all the parents tell us to do.
and we want to be some one else
like the people who screwed up their lives
and wish they could start over
like normal people
and poets
like the one that wrote this poem.
