blue means everywhere it wants

when you were a little boy your favorite color was blue

(nailed it)

and when you were a little boy who liked other boys your favorite color was

definitely blue

if anyone asked

but you grow up and they all stop asking

so you start talking

in the mirror

in your

bigness

and it’s just you

and you and

little you

what if-ing towards the light

you take you

for a spin:

nails go red

bleached hair blonde like

how it was when you were little

to see if you forgot something there

in your room blue

meant sad but now it means

water only takes the shape of its container until it can’t

until it rises, overflowing and going

everywhere

it wants
