go away green ~ original
mixed media on cotton canvas
41 x 31 cm
go to the party.
so you can hang from the walls
like a painting
no.
like a jacket
with dangling arms and pockets full of crumpled paper
2. talk to people.
in sixth grade everyone had to go around the room and give a compliment
you were called nice
23 times
3. smile.
like pretty things given sweet names
wallflower
4. people watch.
with the shadows and the un-human parts
notice the way their bodies move?
good.
practice that
5. go home.
and pray to be something wilder than the wallflowers
and nicer
than a fly on the wall
