No Green Beyond You

You can’t drive a car to save your life,

but you can photograph beauty in black

love in light

goodness in gray

and teach me everything worth knowing.

I thought I saw greener grass behind you,

beyond,

in some distant land that required no emotional passport to visit.

There is no green beyond you.

The hue does not exist.

I have lost all desire to see it.

You can drive how you want.

Baby, you can even drive my car.

I like the look of you up close

and will just hang on tight.
