I recently came across this poem, which I had forgotten writing! It appeared in Flying Higher: An Anthology of Superhero Poetry (2013), edited by Michael Damian Thomas and Shira Lipkin.
Green in Gold and Silver
by David D. Levine
In brightest day, in blackest night
I summon fists of greenish light
Hands and hammers, fish and saucers
Things from tales that rival Chaucer's
I fly, I glow, my ring extrudes
Wrenches, crowbars, green Quaaludes
I am the man who knows no fear
Except when something yellow's near
It could be worse, my weakness could
Be objects made of common wood

To be fair, when I submitted my own claim I indicated Tor as the publisher, because at the time I thought I should indicate the publisher of the edition that was stolen. I didn't know then how the compensation package would be affected by that specification.

This tracks. I was born in the Midwest but my parents were from Queens. mydialect.us
Map of the US with a heavily red area around New York and a less red area around San Francisco. The middle of the country is blue.

This invaded my brain last night, and now I've inflicted it on you.

You might wonder why this snack is telling you to STFU. "StuFu" is short for "Studentenfutter" — "student fodder" — which is what the Germans call GORP. In French it's apparently called "student cocktail."
A bag of RAPUNZEL brand "Stufu" (footnote: "Original Rapunzel Studentenfutter") subtitled "Frutta secca mista" and "Cocktail étudiant"

Sadly prophetic… and we didn't realize that "we" referred to the USA, not the GOP.
Lindsey Graham tweet from May 3, 2016:
"If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed......and we will deserve it."
