Gapittee’s Wild Yellow-Green Thoughts

Gapittee

Yeh, I know my teeth aren’t straight
and my eyes are weird
—unnatural even—
and they can’t see.
Nourishing green ideas enter my head
and I can hear you.
I can hear the dark thoughts
behind your light words.
I’ve never heard anyone mention my perfect ear
so I guess you can’t see very well either
and I don’t expect you to see
that my green nourishment
attempts to form love.

“We remain frightened until we embrace the frightening truth.
Then we have so much to do, we don’t have time for fear.”
Dartwill Aquila
