Plural Penetration

Throw bold differences that inspire our colorblind eyes and cast themselves out of their opaque truth and discover feeling reality Everyone feels the crimson hatred that we all burn this world with Just as the icy blues that we all shatter the earth with Cleanse our mind’s “eye” with a sudden down pour that leaves the smell of freshly baptized sidewalks spewing perfume like ocean waves in the summertime It’s warm It’s soothing I feel protected somehow Extend an arm of care outward from the love that we desperately have as others shove us away because they feel unbearably the same Deep down it makes you smile as it tears a hole in your heart Trust that unsatisfying grin until your grip gives way to the weight of the world Something meant well that will never be similarly understood even with perfect vision It’s friendly It’s sympathetic I feel strength inside my one arm raised and a balled fist
