#greenlivesmatter
paper cut
the flesh-colored bandage
bright against her scales
summer vacation
her tentacle lotion
in the ethnic aisle
first day of school
one textbook chapter
on green history
keg stand
a fratboy in greenface
holds her ankles
autumn evening
trick-or-treaters
with fake tentacles
stale coffee
her coworker asks
if she’s green all over
routine traffic stop
the chill of the car hood
beneath her green cheek
“excessive force” acquittal
outside, protester tentacles
squirm in handcuffs
