 Green is green

and grey is grey
So sayeth the times
Your eyes awake 
With stumbled dreams
Your breath is fetid and dry
Hah-low the chimes of Peru
Ring out!
An angry alpaca is biting at your leg
Go away!
You kick at it and it scurries down the lane 
A woman in black velvet and red boots watches
"Hah!"
She laughs then shuts and locks her door
The rain starts first slow then loud and hard
You bolt for the pub
But its closed
You huddle beneath the arch 
And watch rats scurry the street
Green is green
Grey is grey
