feeling comfy in your own skin
he wore green pants
—and no it wasn’t saint paddy’s day
he wore green pants
and he’s not even irish
he just likes the way they look
one day he told his girlfriend
maybe I’ll put on green pants
every morning from here on out
she agreed they looked good on him
he was never envious
or money hungry
didn’t care for pea soup
or mowing the lawn
but he liked to wear green pants
and that became his true identity
may two thousand twenty-four
