two green rooms

she bought too much

green paint,

the shade

of a pear,

so we did another room in green,

the same

as the other

room down the hall.

her twin sister was coming

to live with her

at sixty-eight.

so it made sense,

in a way.

then she showed me a picture

of her and her sister

at six

then at sixteen, both dressed

the same exact way.

nothing changes, still,

it seems.
