[message to] the fluent chameleons
we are, all of us fluent chameleons practicing our body language under a mercenary sun
drunk and hapless behind the curtains of another life we seek a power greater than color
we are told at the equinox there will be fireworks and rooftops but the invitation is a little hole in the worst part
of ownership where our shoulders either wear shoes or send sleep like a postcard to a
long lost reservoir where nobody is making coffee for the dead and the living are getting
angry like cameras whose colors lurk outside the very idea of colors; we are
all of us fluent beyond syllables painting mostly mercenary suns because the last shade on the palette is
simply within.
