no more emerald music
they said
and we trudged off to bed
still dreaming completely in green
and in school
it was the rule
(in study hall)
don't hide your worthless
emerald stories behind
your upstanding
algebra the teachers said, upholding the
values of formulas above even
this turquoise-green sky
what use was algebra
when all we heard
before or after
(or cared to hear)
was emerald music?
