she cooks you green eggs and ham in greener
mornings, skin speckled, drops of emerald tiptoeing
across the floor, she reads him to you at night so
you might remember a balmy green impermeable:
"Today you are You,
that is truer than true.
There is no one alive
who is Youer than You".
Dr. Seuss teaches you to forget until you have
forgotten what to forget, how to know
this child serving you runny eggs, your scrambled
life, will always be a little greener,
a little Youer.
