How the World Got Colorful

Green was the theme, mainly green and blue then came you in your floral dance and open mouths, red insect-eating lips. snaky tongues big, bold, and subjectively pretty, objectively fleshy, lushly, lustful, lapping at life. The sun adopted the new grey turned greyer next to you. Blooming bouncing behemoth begonias yet uncultivated, all hungry to suck the soil, burst breeding seeds, pollinate, infiltrate, dominate, habituate, inflate. Then when the small ape-like manikins (proto us), began to populate they picked you.
