A Pact To Ignore the Others
not with her
she is paisley, this daring turquoise
her mind is lithium
I refuse to dance past my grayscale self
yellow and pink hippies enter the realm
imagination laughs
I will save you, she says
snicker snicker
purple rain contradicts my ideology
I note that veins of purple posies
not paisley at all gather around turquoise
Those veins soften her, Brown whispers.
We are from a variety of countries
I do not know Browns.
Having never met them
I pick up my pen and make a pact to ignore the others
They are laughing and readily include me though
We are painting the world now
I am enticed and enthralled
In spite of my silly resolve
Having fun with these borderline strangers
Within minutes I feel we have known each other
all the lifetimes of our souls.
