"'Normal' is defined merely by the kind of strangeness that one is used to,"


Once in a while I’m a sunrise red.
I’ll go to the lake and breath the low fog.
Put my kayak to the water
and paddle through the lilies.
Never more peaceful.

Then sometimes I’m a fake turquoise.
Put on a stupid smile for a bunch of imbecile customers.
Novel idea: figure out what you’re going to buy
before you come to the store!

I prefer red, far more authentic.

Society seems to need blue,

the faker of the two.


The author's comments:
I am partially colorblind, so I can't see turquoise. Thus, I think of it as fake and cheap.
