"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.”
