Fear is growing from youth
Fear is reliving the past
Fear is irrational typecast
Asking diffuses fear

Tiny little things, swimming free in a sea of blue

As spinach and blueberry pie,
Yet together we laugh,
Which reduces, by half,
All the ways our distinctions apply.

We can get colors by working with one color.
