Every day was the same as the last: wake up a minute before the alarm goes off, then the blasted alarm goes off before I can turn it off.
One protein bar for the road. Embrace traffic. Try not to flip off any people trying to move into new lanes with their blinkers off.
I enter the office just in time. Hank waves me over. “You know the drill.”
I nod drowsily. Everything is the same. The same pho...
It started out with a little bit of hatred
But I can’t seem to look away
A little bit of animosity
But I can’t seem to get away
The color fades
With each mistake
I lost my grip
But no one knows
I lost control
It’s how it always goes
The color fades
With each mistake
I lost my grip
But no one knows
I lost control
In the monochrome
Left it with a
One kiss
Two kiss
Fuck you fist
Seeing the wor...
Everyday. All I see everyday.
Is the one shade, of solemn grey.
Sometimes I spot blacks and whites,
But it’s all the same, like flying kites.
Up up up, in the air they go
Then they come down, if the wind doesn’t blow
The only thing that’s hopeful in this displacement
Is the color, orange.
Orange. I was eight when I saw it in sight.
It looked like a warm breeze, in the summer night
It was faint, ...

Color is divine. Color is passion.
Mine ran into the shadows
At the first sign of illumination.
The waves of gray are an ocean—
I run into the tunnel,
Moth to zapper—
Deer to high beams—
My wide-eyed innocence pulled to opposite ends of the pendulum—
Swinging in the gloam,
Where what they call the greener pastures
Are merely myths of men.
His fingerprints smudged the exterior walls of my glass...
It was almost blinding
The blaze that flashed before my eyes
The warmth that accompanied it
More surprised by the timing
A moment of anger fueled by love
Both craving and resenting it
This must be the color of heart
In all its glory
So beautiful and scary
The color is red
What Ive decided
The guest of both love and hate divided....
They asked, "How could you possibly know what red is?"
I tell them "I don't. But I know a robin doesn't know how to be anything else."
A little scrap of fire against a nothing sky,
The dance on a mound of nothing soil,
For no other reason but being alive one second longer.
How can that bright spark of a song,
Somewhere between laughter and a whistle,
Given to the morning with that audacious cha...

I’ve never seen any color besides black and white before but I’m familiar with their meanings. Red was associated with anger and love. Blue with sadness and yellow with happiness. Of course, there were many other colors but what was the point of memorizing every color and wh...
