Green Borders

On the highest street in a bigger town

I had laid down no more than a dollar

And I walked away with something funny

That doesn't really suit me

I've worn it once and lived my day

Not noticing any glances in my direction

But it's not to say that it really fits

Or that it alters me somehow

My fellow agrees that it stands out of place

Or at least, that it doesn't belong

But I think I like it, dare I say

Maybe it'll help me change

I care for black, it suits me well

The green on the side is a little strange

It's different sure, but not so much

It's something out of a story

I've landed here with it in hand

And it lays upon my hardening skin

Perhaps in time it will charm them too

As it has charmed me

Either way, it's dirty now

And I think I'll give it some time

But its color's calm and neutral face

May decorate me soon.

Hey man, it was only a dollar.
