by I wore green pants on the day we met
My friend told me they made me exciting and fun
Not sure if that was an insult, but yet
I took it as such and broke a sweat.
That is why I did not meet you wearing green pants
As it was too much of a fright
I thought about it long and decided I can’t
Although perhaps it made no difference was in sight
On the rack, they seemed nice
Like something out of a movie
I wouldnt’ have thought twice
Seeing a character I know
In those evergreen pants
Alas, that is just the mystery
Given to us all
To be or not to be ourselves
To rise before we fall
Expectations are not grounded
And yet they are confounded
With the wires of which make up our brains.
