Isn’t it interesting that we men often pause in the face or question of color. We think it says something about us and we both want it to and are afraid it might. Really, it’s just color.
they asked
although I doubted
they really cared
much
but
they asked
since it
was part
of the game
being played
they asked
just needing
to get
through it
to the end
they asked
what color
are you?
Purple
or maybe
lavender
I thought
to myself
but I paused
and they
said
red,
yes, red
is the right
choice for you
you will
be red.
No, I said
make me
gray
please
but I paused
long enough
for them
to move
on
and
so
I was never
purple
or
lavender
except
to
myself.
