(for Corey)
July 21, 1994

The shapes, and the colors
look at all the pretty combinations
then again, do you see the bad ones?
they stick out…
Beautiful patterns are hard to see
alter it just enough
look into the light
If you blink, you’ll miss it.
Fallen down was that pretty one;
There it goes, too quickly.
You want it back, don’t you?
Do you miss it already?
It’s only fair to stick through the ugly scenes
waiting for another chance
a chance to see the prettiest one there is.
Watch closely, for if you don’t hold still
and take things slowly
it just may be gone forever
in the blink of an eye.
