Stuck In a Paper
All I know is black and white. I was drawn by a
painter for a stranger on the streets of downtown, a sudden scribble for a
random passerby. The corners of my mouth are permanently placed like the
creases in a book that someone forgot to read. I cannot frown for I am forever
smiling and never expressing other emotions I feel. My arms and legs are straws
that bend accordingly, but in misleading manners. The stranger folded my world,
my view of the universe, and only remembered their own.
Is blue soft, but sticky like cotton candy?
Is yellow extremely hot like the summer or
exceedingly sour like a lemon?
All I know is white and black. I run from corner to
corner, bumping into the outside world. I was not drawn for a museum or art
display. If I was redrawn on another piece of paper or on a beautiful canvas,
would I look for my original place? If I flew on a cloud and jumped on an
advertisement I would see drivers and passengers heading to their own piece of
paper. That place which they call home. I am where I have always been, in a
crease in the bench that the stranger ate lunch on and forgot the scribble from
the painter, this piece of paper.
Does green bend like grass or brown flow like sand
through the fingers of a hand?
Does orange feel round like the fruit of the same
name?
