COMPARISONS

 
She knew she wasn’t supposed
to compare. Why not? Many reasons.
You really never know the other. 

You don’t. But she looked around 

wanting to compare herself to all 

the other blades of grass on the
great big green lawn next to the
house. Height? No. Width? No. 

Lawn mowers are the great equalizers.

They take care of that kind of comparison.  

Green? Shades of green. Comparisons.
There it was. That was it. My green
is a better green than your green.
Do we all need something to make
ourselves look better than the next guy?
