Green Machine

I want so badly
to touch you.
Fingertips are soft
sensitive, nimble
creatures.  They
like to touch your
bare arms that show
when you
wear your green
machine t-shirt.
Bare arms-
I want them for me.
I make my way to you,
to your bare arms
where I run the
rough fingertips.
I tug on your sleeve,
it's green,
and you smile
at how the tips of my rough
fingers tickle your bare arms.
Life is so hard.
