"color" ,, (??)
a poem to myself, about myself, (or anyone else)

Have you ever said a word
so many times
it feels foreign? Like, “COLOR” ,, (??)
,,Color. C o l o r ,, C / o / l / o / r ‘
………………………………… a scratch
at the back of my
throat, a tongue flutter; I spit the out the word
with a flick of a mutter. COLOR.
I mean,
don’t you feel it odd, ,, the sensation?
Like losing yourself in an abyss
of absurd imagination? (*) I repeat relentlessly &
fall to frenzies. Color. Color. Color
is just an
extracted / meaning,
you lose
its true essence. Let’s bring it back to pre-thought &
primordial lessons.
From the aspect of the infinite, a
fractal is really a whole / & a color
is just a
micro-massive, faux-phantastic
multi-dimensional CODE. (Oscillations
in frequency ( f ).)
& I too
splinter at the prism , & I too am
only left / with:
Pink (Sexuality)
Red (Life)
Orange (Healing)
Yellow (Sun)
Green (Nature)
Turquoise (Art)
Indigo (Harmony)
Violet (Soul)
,,Color. C o l o r ,, C / o / l / o / r / s ‘
cover / our world. With “ours” a
drop in the bucket, & us
b e g g i n g
to be heard. (*) But sound is a temporary relief,
& sight just pretends to be. Color though, it moves & goes without
us needing to actually see. Innate. Immortal. A vortex or
door or portal.
(There are colors which, sort of, / spill messages
into pupils.
The / outside, is not like
the
mind, the colors you see when you
close your eyes.)
So let go of expectation & ,
who do you find? (Color, color,
color.) Yours theirs & mine,
is all within your reach. A rainbow’s
only a matter of
time. Realize the world’s not
a stage / but actually a mirror,
dispersing reflected bends of light.
& that’s what makes us special. We
individuate over time. & only
I have this very mind.
(& only I have this uniqueness,
mine.)
So repeat after me, & believe:
“I am more colors
than thought could find.”
