It Ain't Easy Being Green

You tilt your head to one side and announce in a curious voice that my aura is green-a teaching color, a healing color. You’re right I am green. I pull on socks that used to belong to the guy who made me this color. They were at the bottom of my drawer and it’s laundry day. They’re too big but I really needed socks. I’m getting better at this green thing. Instead of chanting mantras throughout the day to exempt me from these socks I laugh and thank the universe that socks are my only problem. But even so, I write a note to buy more socks.
