I am technicolor
I seek to transform
The simplest moment
Into something more
The softest voices
I’ll amplify
The brightest laughs
The saddest cry
My strokes are emotion
My heart is the ink
My eyes find their subject
In between blinks
Cause we’re not just one person
In a vast sea of many
But an explosion of several
Of billions, of plenty
And the best way I know
To have my talents shine through
Is to take focus off me
And place it on you
You deserve to be seen
Valued, and heard
So I give you the spotlight
And spread the good word
By expanding your scope
Your light will spread
We make a brighter world
When we get out of our head

Part 2 Interview With Joe Patterson, Author Of Melanin Memoirs
This is my second interview with Joe Patterson. His 4th anniversary writing on Vocal will be in March 2026. He has one achievement on Vocal, The Other Foot. He has over 17,000 reads on Vocal since he started on Vocal in 2022. Joe Patterson is very creative poet and rapper. Joe is deep thinker and I feel it is reflected in his latest published book, Melanin Memoirs.

Think for Me
"How do you calculate the circumference of a circle? Submit your answer when ready." [Pause] "Excellent! Every student was able to call up the answer electronically very quickly. If I, as a robot had feelings, I would express pride. You may break for lunch. Return to this cyber room in 45 minutes."
