Green

By Sara Archie
Lebanon High School, Grade 12

It rolls around in my purse
I have to shuffle through the loose change
Through my books
My cell phone
My lip gloss
My CD player
My college paperwork—
(Jeesh, how much crud do I have in here?)
To find the goods:
Green.

I try to smile
But I know
It’ll be all gone after
My jacked up college tuition sucks it into the void.

But for now…
Shopping spree anyone?
