The news is all red
in spite of the daffodils
butting in with green.
All of the new buds
by the lake, showing red first
before they go green.
Old mulch by the walk
is not as red, and it’s cracked —
coming soon, the green.
The news is in red.
The window differs: make room!
Consider the green.
Do you look for red
when you wake up, or do you
only see the green?
Spread red over green,
or hide the red with the green.
The news is on. Choose.
