Was That the Beginning of WWIII?



Was That the Beginning of WWIII? By the Way My Water Heater Gets Delivered and Installed on Friday
or
Brother Can You Spare a Paradigm?

Apparently there are colors
            we humans cannot see

Thinking about [x] is not the same as doing [x] yet I can’t relate just as I can’t relate
to everyone’s shoes:
                        clunky and abstract

When I wake up I’m still not sure who has just died

Apparently there are colors
            nothing sexier
            than yellow and green
and the smell of burning

What makes them real is that they can’t sleep

Apparently if we give the people names
            or if we take their names away it doesn’t make them
            any more or less real

And If I took grammar for granted?

Apparently taking out all the names just makes it confusing

Say it slowly enough and it will appear
            to have gravity
If we could see no color at all that would not make everything
            black and white

Apparently we just think that way: in the morning
‘forward’ is to the west and in the evening it has miraculously reversed

When the water gets deep enough we stall
            and both channels are engaged

A sense of magnitude prevails
