Colors swirl
To black, gray, and white
Falling,
Slammed against a hard surface
—
Picking oneself up
Clutching my sides in a hug,
A chill shivers up.
Men dressed in their finest
Women in sweeping dresses
On a regular day.
—
Scornful looks at your strange attire,
Skeptical glances at i-pod and cell
No one greeted you,
Steering away fast
Pulling small, curious children away.
—
Newspaper sighting.
Wrong date
—
Falling
Black to white swirl
To the colors in the spectrum.
Falling,
Slammed against a hard surface
—
Nobody in their finest
Nobody greeting you;
Newspaper sighting.
Right date
Painted Sky
