yellow raincoats MAG
December 28, 2012
He bought them yellow raincoats
But yellow isn't their color
Construction yellow.
Just like the road signs
Before they fell
He bought her a gray leather jacket
But gray makes her sad
Deadpan gray.
Just like the weather
Before they moved
I bought him a baby blue blazer
It brings out his eyes
Cornflower blue.
Just like his father's
Before they clouded

Your use of imagery is perfect. I can see and feel the textures of the colors. Well done!

Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I've got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?
