What's your favorite color?
i noticed for the first time three days ago that the house next door is a soft periwinkle & i cannot stop thinking about it, nor can i bring myself to ask whether this, as the lynol realtors: for sale sign, is new because i suspect that it has been like this since the 'new' family moved in half a dozen years ago, although i still call it alberto's house & remember it as it was when iwas a child
i hope, my dear that you will not judge me too harshly for this: out of the whole year i am awake maybe twice, aware of the mechanics of my lungs & the way that this is different from breathing only in novemeber and the space where march-meets-april; too soon i will sleep again, but this month all i can think of is this soft blue which has always been there & yet only just now come seeping in through every crack to drown me
