Yellow or Blue

Yellow or Blue

Would I yawn if it was much longer,

buy a horse instead .

Sit tall and straight on its bare back looking

as colourful as a giant can of Arizona Iced Tea .

Sometimes a drop of coffee or

or a splash of whiskey on the tongue

is all that’s needed for satisfaction.

More can be a spiral of disappointment,

wet hands trying to free the bar of soap

from its wet waxy wrapper.

I could’ve bought that horse,

but the horse never would have loved me back.

Maybe it would have loved me back

—for the handful of clover.

I love to read, write, and discuss poetry. Feel free to comment or ask questions — follow and I will always follow back!
