Watercolors
April 16, 2010
I'm ignoring
The shouts and the yells.
I'm ignoring
The sound of the baby's wail.
The arguing, the hollering.
I block them all out.
With my thin, cheap plastic paintbrush
I let out all of my frustrations
Scraping the runny, grainy paintbrush
On my page
Water, clouded with colors.
Turquoise.
I'm ignoring them.
Trying to finish my masterpiece
of anger
of venting
Dipping the black bristles
Frantically rubbing it onto the
Dried paint the size of a nickel
The water drips on my page
Running down its length.
I am ignoring them.
