we find
an abstract
verdant image

is it a meadow
or a forest of 
a hemisphere's summer
(someone) looking

or
(more) fancifully

being green

sometimes with any number of
means
by interests
it’s easy
(well
if) with being hard

having green
lives
hale
on green worlds

there is referenced the song “Bein’ Green” by Joseph G. Raposo, famously sung by Kermit the (green) Frog
