dark morning blue

blue beginning
bluebell

fading into
grey
grey        grey        grey       grey      grey
beige
taupe
tan
monotone zone
killed by
yellow
girly pink
grass green      green       green      green     grass
breathe it in      
put it inside
mmmmmm
i’m an ox
i  work hard
i’m color responsible
candy color
sugar       sugar       sugar        sugar       sugar      sugar
why do they want sugar
all the time
don’t they get sick from the sweet
sweetness in all
sugar upholstery
sugar skin

“lick         lick        lick        lick      it
lick it like a lollipop
oh yeah i  like that” *

more and more for them
none and none for us
none  is more        for        us
we want it blank
bitter
raw
real
we know beyond taste
we know beyond color
we’re so civilized
we know structure
solid base
we put it in our lives
and we feel safe
supreme
