Walking Around the City One Monday Evening

I remember it being green. The 
color so sublime that it takes 
away melange of misery. The 
wallowing self in the streets 
that leads nowhere. I remember
them being brown. The path so
stern that you might want to mi
-ss it but it is so hard to do just 
that. It often reaches to an aban
-doned building, the cracks and 
crevices are hosting a lot of 
yellow within it. The kind of yell
-ow that makes you want to have
ice lollies. I remember the building
being grey. Carrying on it's should
-ers the dullness, the hate, the ugly 
associated to it. The yellow tells a 
different story. It doesn't care 
about the green, the red, the grey; 
the misery. There's blue directly
diagonal to it and in it there's a who
-le expanse of pigments. The hues
and the tints that are just wondero
-us for many but for yellow, it's 
what the world is. This city is beige,
it always has been beige but if you
squint your eyes at a precise angle,
you'll see lavender falling down the
sky and everything will be fine.
