Colores Primarios: Amarillo

the very tip of the flame, the

color of shite journalism, “stars

of spectral classes f & g,” a ripe

banana peel, piss full of vitamins

being flushed out, ring around the

collar, chats n’ shafted flickers n’

hammers n’ warblers, emma stone’s

locks prior to her better known dye-

jobs, charlize’s natural locks known

to all moviegoers, lemons, ducks

when portrayed in rubber form at a

county fair, a pedestrian-crossing

street sign, lilium, yellow

chrysanthemums, oenothera,

this color cake is one step in making

a nuke, for the maya it meant

southward, donovan made a killing

with his mellow song addressing it,

a single lamp glowing in a dark room

& echoing visually on the wall,

internationally n’ maritimely this color

flag means the letter “q,” these color

pages used to dominate ones’ ability to

give someone a ring, goldenrod, ½ of a

bumble bee’s color in total, the sun rising

in a clear sky’s early morn.
