Much to my surprise, evidently my meek exterior hides a political activist. Huh.

they called her crazy
the indigo girl
her rainbow colored hair jumped
from her head like
ecological worries

her head was full of ozone
her heart was made of
chloro
fluoro
carbons
her feet made martyrs of themselves
walking on broken glass
(a greenhouse gas)

she recycled her diet soda cans
cut up her plastic rings
wore jackets made of paper&plastic

an angel of despair:
(zealous & jealous)
the safety pins in her ears
shone with her divine fervor

until she needed a pencil
